It’s 11:32 and
I finished my homework
At last,
After too many hours
Of too much work but
It's 11:32, and im
Finally in bed
11:32
Giving up my time to share my thoughts instead
Now it’s 11:36,
The silence ringing like an echo as
My eyelids droop lower
11:36
And the day still follows me
Home,
Follows me to myself but
No,
No wait it’s
11:43 now
The time just won’t stop ticking,
11:43
11:44
I should go to sleep,
Says my eyes, hands, legs, and mind
I should go to sleep,
Says the i, who didn’t stray to see 11:48
Now, waking from my own murder,
it’s 6:15
Bright and early and sharp and productive
6:15
Definitely, definitely ready
For the day
6:15
I'll have so much to do
6:15
I haven't a moment to spare
6:15
I can’t be late
6:15, 6:15
6:16
I've fallen behind,
No, no
Please, wait
