Five
O
Clock
Damn!
There goes that alarm again…
Jolting me from my sleep; like, the shock from the electric chair!
No time to stare!
GET UP!
Its
Five
O
Clock
Fifty-two minutes till the metro comes.
Fifty-one now… Oh Shit! It’s Five O’ One
Coffee on
Quick shower
No shave today
Wolf down breakfast; can’t afford to go slow!
Warmed up to 22 degrees; still do want to go!
Jack Frost ain’t nipping at my nose he’s tryin’ to bite the bitch off
Wish I could go back to bed where it’s warm and soft.
But, I gotta go ‘cuz…
Five
O
Clock
Comes way too early in the morning.
I just laid down and started snoring.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
The wood I sawed hasn’t even become kindling.
Sleep filled eyes still squinting.
As the alarm continues its incessant ringing
But it’s…
Five
O
Clock
Time to repeat that fifteen hour routine
Hour there, hour back, 12-1/2 in between
That’s why I hate
Five
O
Clock
