-dark when I wake-
drowsy and half-asleep
shuffle out of bed
-slowly getting lighter-
things gathered and packed for the day
unlock the door
-sun is rising now-
onto the bus
hear all the chatter
-higher in the sky-
into the huge building
unlock my locker
-can see it through the window-
all my different classes
sit bored through long period
-patterns on my desk-
lunch with all my friends
continue through the day
-lower in the sky-
only last period left
finally I return home
-clinging to the horizon-
end of the day
crawl into bed
-gone until the morning-
