I have trouble waking up
Despite the clanging bells and sirens
Used to alarm me from my sleep.
So I tried a gentle sunrise call
Of recorded ducks
But they, too, were incorporated into dream.
Now here I am to get report from
Her animosity,
Worn as putrid perfume.
She, perturbed,
Losing fifteen minutes' time
Drinking coffee at the time clock.
But I do not care, because when I heard the quacks
I started flying and remain
Rested, lighter than air.
OH WOW! I so love this poem!!!!! LOVE the idea of being awakened by ducks.......how can I get one of those devices? LOVE that you started flying and woke lighter than air.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite poem this week. For sure!
I just changed the clock settings on my ipod. It's not fun being late to work, but I guess it was worth it.
