2d Mushroom Clouds

Two-Dimensional Mushroom Clouds

Gabriel Duncan

I?ve been trying to run away from the alarm clock all morning

It?s beeping is unforgiving

No more sleep for me

It?s time to wake up

Maybe if I just

Ignore it

I can sleep more

But its beeping becomes louder

And more incessant

The warmth evacuates my bed

My sheets are so cold

That I am scared of getting stuck to them

No matter which side I lay on

How close my knees are to my chest

There?s no escape

I turn over again

And watch the rain

Little ripples form on my window

Two-dimensional mushroom clouds

And I realize

It really is winter

Isn?t it?
