The Alarm










The walls, silent walls listen 

to the songs of your angst 

the darn walls do not even applaud 

they sit still, not even apprehensive 

that you will breakdown -

the darn walls 


the mosquitoes fly by with sick oblivion 

seeking your blood as they you are their ranch 

and their annoying whir - god their annoying whir 

sickens you to your stomach 

they rob you the little sleep you are bargaining for 

the sleep you've bargained for six hours 


and now dawn is here

the alarm does not raise you -

you raise the alarm 

and the alarm snoozes you 

because you are tired, 

tired of thinking - tired of dawns

that bring nothing but weary dreams
