Still awake at 1:45AM
Between now and then
I will perhaps sleep,
then battle the demon
that lives in my hot water heater,
shave 4 days of thatch from my face
(or is it 5 days?), pack
an efficient yet healthy lunch,
and then brave those insane
NJ drivers for 30+ minutes.
Or I could just stay up all night
and have a nice fruit smoothie
to start my day; the sleep
would certainly lead to jousting
with the alarm clock,
resulting in panicked rushing about.
In olden times I could pull
an all-nighter, but tonight
I’ll try to sleep. Maybe one of you
will call me at 7AM (no, 7:15, maybe
7:30, or even 45) and roust me.
