Piffle


My complex human-ness
Includes a timing system
So that when I sent an alarm clock
the night before
I'll pop awake 10 minutes before
the alarm goes off—(my brain knows
how irratable sounds can make my body)
So for ten minutes I can snooze
knowing I have 10 minutes
well prepared for that alarm
or I can shut it down before I hear
that annoyance
Only other way to awake, I prefer
when that pet cockatiel used to
jump on my head & squawk
if I didn't get up exactly
correct time
His internal bird clock
Only did that once on a weekend
till he figured-out my days off
