Alarm crack, wake up, time to go, sun’s up.
No sleep? Open your eyes, get out of bed! So what!
dog fed? car keys? Printed essay? matching socks?
don’t feel so great, can’t be late, can’t stay home, no matter what
Time for breakfast? Are you kidding? Out of the house, it’s time to go.
wait did I? No, I forgot it, re-do it at lunch, it’ll be so-so
car door slamming finger jamming, sprinting through the parking lot
A concert poster, that looks fun, do I have time? definitely not!
Heavy textbooks, untied laces, go faster! The bell’s gonna ring
classes whirl, busy, busy, those scheduled breaks? No longer a thing.
after school, there’s this and that, go get gas, pick up your brother.
going till you’re just about gone, doing one thing after another.
Six assignments due tomorrow out of the house till nine o’clock.
Blinking cursor, blank head, three am, writers block.
Alarm crack, wake up, time to go, sun’s up.
No sleep? Open your eyes, get out of bed! So what!
Repeat the cycle, another time, again and again, the clock is ticking
Wasting time, got to use it all, but in all honesty, who am I tricking?
Being productive doesn’t meant that much, if you don’t live a little between the tasks
take a moment, sit back, kick up your feet, and relax
so much pressure, keep this up? You’ll only to work yourself to death
Alarm crack, such soft blankets, hit the snooze, take a breath.
