Lazy by Timothy Ip

Lazy… *I can sleep all day*

It’s morning,

You’re tired,

The clock says six o’clock.

Five more minutes…

Then what you feared –

Alarm in your ears.

Your fist comes down

* Breaking sound *

Bits of clock

On the ground.

Just two more minutes…

Then five…

Then ten…

After twenty, you’re still in bed,

DEAD… to the world,

But alive in dreams

So it seems.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Awake at last –

Need breakfast fast.

But what’s the time?

You go downstairs

It’s half nine – not bad

You look again

It says P.M.
