I Wake Today by Ken Nesbitt

I wake today, get out of bed, then stretch and yawn and scratch my head.


I find my clothes. I pull them on. I wonder where my homework's gone.


I grab a breakfast bar for fuel, and hoist my pack and head to school.


When I arrive I'm truly shocked. The lights are off. The door is locked.



I check my watch. It's me, not them. I woke too soon. It's 4:00 A.M.
