I
I wake up
The sun's too bright for me to not roll over
into my comfort and lullaby and privacy
Wake me up tomorrow,
when the sun isn't so
well-lit and my peace isn't so enveloping

II
I wake up
Throw on the pants I wore yesterday because
if they don't smell bad who will know?
My mom will know and I change
It would've been easier to put these on from the start

III
I wake up
at my desk in bio and she's asking me a question
that I wouldn't understand even if I'd
listened to the lecture

IV
I wake up
to new ideas and new possibilities
Dreams are only dreams because they are intangible

V
I wake up
And then I go back to sleep
