Headphones On

hear alarm in dream
realize alarm is not part of dream but is actually alarm
wake up
rub eyes
hop out of bed and across room to hit snooze
shiver
lay back down in the bed
frantically pull the goose down back over me
shiver
rub eyes
stare at the ceiling
wonder if it could perhaps fall on me
wonder if it's moving or my eyes are fucked up
wake up again after hearing alarm
hop out of bed and across room to hit snooze
curl up under covers
shiver
rub eyes
stare at the alarm clock
try to figure out the real time versus the time set on the clock
wake up
rub eyes
hop out of bed and across room to hit snooze
turn alarm off
turn on npr
lay back down in the bed
listen to morning edition
wake up
stare at clock trying to figure out actual time
realize that i'm now late and MUST stop this vicious cycle
