BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED

10:00am class
It’s a drag to drag
myself out of bed
I stayed up late watching
the amazing extraordinary
crap they try to sell:
“It cuts metal, it cuts wood,
it repells insects, helps you
quit smoking, tells the temperature,
drills ¾ inch holes, removes stains,
kills weeds for good, shampoos and
conditions and comes equipped with
an answering machine, compass, CD player,
seismograph, metal detector, chainsaw,
 flashlight, cheese grater, periscope, Fooz Ball table,
soldering iron, Pez dispenser, chalkboard, 
crossbow, tire guage, waffle
iron, dental floss, shoehorn,
and it comes in this handy Tupperware
carrying case…Batteries not included.

I sleepwalk to class
and try to stay
alert for over an hour,
then head back home and
lie down and set my alarm clock
which does two things; plays radio
and wakes me up.
