Sleepless RoutineCold groggy morning comes againSleepless Routine by ~FallingForFiction
Alarm clocks blare in the dawn hours
parents shout up and down the halls
demanding progression in the early schedule

clothes piling around left and right
eggs sizzling in their pan
Slippers shuffling around on wood planks
upgrade to socks and soles

stifled by full mouths and slurps of orange juice
drained in rush with clocks ticking past
sheets of finished homework

crumpled in quick haste
pencils keys breakfasts horns
Carpools wait in heat

being wanted but denying them anyway, and the smell, the smell
of smoke wafting in from the open backyard

of alcohol on everyone's underage breath -

low, and those girls who played with their hair
and typed away on their phones in class talking about how obnoxious
you are for answering all the questions,
them in their
leggings and Canada Goos
