Time to Get Up



I go to sleep; only because it’s about 3 or 4am in the morning and I don’t want anyone to think I’m weird for being up so late and/or early. You know what I mean... my roommate heading to work and as he walks past my room he hears DJ Screw openin up shop. Not a good look. So at some point I have to wake up. Which I do, I roll over and squint at the clock... 9:26am. Oh that will not do, that is far too early to do anything productive. I close my eyes and hope for more rest. 

10:24am, that’s a little better but still I need more time to get my shit together. Come on!... I got out of the Corp years ago assholes who are judging me.

1:12pm hits and I know it, I don’t have to look at the clock. Now I have choices... A: actually get up B: keep 'sleeping' with one eye open and register each hour that passes until boredom forces me out of my slumber or… C: Break my shackles and wonder the streets until I am tired.. find shelter... curl up and reach REM.
