BZZT BZZT BZZT

My night tomb...
In the morning...
when the cold...
is so close...
my blanket womb...
keeps me safe...
close my eyes...
rescue my hand...
from cold air...
feel the warm...
try to savor...
I come to...
just in time...
to hear the bell,
it rings again:

BZZT BZZT BZ-

Slap the top...
Bring hand back...
Before the cold...
Can freeze it off...
Curl my toes...
Curl my legs...
Curl my back...
Curl my thoughts...
Think of love...
Think of death...
Think of life...

(BZZT BZZT BZZT BZZT)

That was nine minutes?
Slap the top again!
Can't put it off....
not even once more....
I've got to work....
I've got to wake....
Just one more minute....
And it goes by--
A mere measly moment!
Convinced it'd feel better,
Reluctantly breaking the seal,
Now cold and disappointed,
I am born again.
I am naked again.
I manage to smile
Turn off the alarm,
(not a second too soon)
--BZ--
And this busy bee--
that's to say, me--
ready for another day
buzz it thoughtlessly away
