No Rhymes or Reasons: where freeform poetry meets literary snobbery

Today is no different than any other day despite what we’ve been told
Open my eyes long enough to realize I am still alone, and hit snooze one more time
I toss and turn until I can’t take it anymore
Not the sound of the alarm, not the pawing of the dog…
Those are just minor annoyances that a good pillow can easily drown out but
The thing that forces me to get up every single day of my life, and plod through another series of seemingly mundane and random events, is quite simply, the need to pee.
I find it rather amusing, that simple truth…She gets out of bed because she is a mother and her kids need her.
He gets up because he has a family that depends on him…
The child emerges from bed with innocence, living simply
For that stupid Jake the Pirate Birthday party that
he gets to go to this afternoon…even the dog wakes up with a sense of purpose, living to make the human happy…
and me, well I just don’t want to pee on myself sober.
