A Rough Start
The alarm gave no sound.
The clock gave the wrong
time.
The car would not start.
My friend was hard to
find.
I jump in my friend’s
car,
and proceed through
traffic.
Not shocking,
nor surprising
how much the road has
compacted.
My coffee spills.
My phone rings.
My boss screams,
and I haven’t done a
thing.
Still I’m late.
It’s ten after eight.
What a heck of a way
to start a day.
