An Oder to......Something. There Must Be Something Positive in There...By Emily

2:00 am


It’s black outside, but


Yellow light lets me see the pages in my textbook 


         And see the inside of my eyelids 


         And then the pages of my textbook again; a little blurry this time


I should just sleep


In bed. Nice.


Car headlights cast shadows on my wall


Wait 


               That’s not an unwanted visitor in my room, right? 


               ….Riiiiiight 


               Pull that sheet up a little further, though. Just in case.

My phone vibrates


My phone vibrates


My phone vibrates


Is that my phone?


      Where is it? 


THUD


     Oh, there it is


Ouch


      That screen is BRIGHT


Whattime is it? 


      Gotta go fast/Gotta go fast


Oh wait, my roommate is still asleep 


     Gotta be quiet…gotta bequiet


Squinting 


                  Is my homework under pile of clothes #1 or pile of clothes #2


                  Which books did I need for class today? 


                  Ah, there are my converse!


This would be so much easier if I could just turn on the light


Isn’t the sun up yet? 


     No


No 


No
