ALARMING ME OUTTA DREAMLAND !


The most annoying bit about living at hostel is waking up each day to the hardnosed shrieks of a hysterical alarm clock. Back home, waking up with the lark was trouble enough but at least then I had mum n dad to hug me out of bed and shove my sleepy-eyed being into the shower. Now, I absolutely Hate (with a capital H), the forced interruption of my oh-so-splendid circadian rhythm by the ruthless dictator my alarm clock is. Oh, and with every 3min snooze, you could almost feel it beaming with pleasure, jeering at your reluctance to push your lazy bum outta bed, it taking pride in being the sole cause of your displeasure.

I seriously thank heavens for the advent of cell phones and the resulting obsoleteness of alarm clocks, for at least now I can set the alarm tone of my cell phone to a soft air, that lullabies me back to dream world; rather than wake up to the crass cacophony of the conventional clock !

THE LEAF I FALL ON..
THE VEINS I TRACE..
THE SPINE IT PRICKS..
I HAVE NO OTHER WAY TO MOVE ON..

SLOWLY TO THE END..
MAYBE CONVERGE WITH ANOTHER..
A DROP BIG ENOUGH, I SAY..
TO GENTLY FALL OFF..
