Dear alarm clock, We need to talk There needs to be an intermission Between used and the user. For you're the first thing I hear in the morning, Sometimes before the rooster has even awoken BUT, Your obnoxious tone, that pierces the serenity makes me remember all the mornings you tricked me into thinking I had 5 more minutes. You s l o w down When I stare at you And you speed up on the moment my glazed and zombified glare ends. You abruptly ruin my my slumber, are you crying for attention? Is there something wrong? But the reason I'm here Is to Apologize.. I've ignored Your patient plastic all day till I need you most, And your metal arms ask nothing of it. I guess our friendship can have its ups and downs As long as You're here for me tomorrow.
