4 A.M. as the lights start to flicker
30 minutes later when the water starts to run
Now is 5 and rumble of footsteps wake me up
By half past and our asses are expected to be on the go
It's 6 and a bit
Or is it 7? Sleep walker mode
15 minutes in when the bell rings for homeroom
8 to 10 passes with a flash
Look at the time -- racing to fill my empty stomach
More classes, tests, and quizzes
We hit noon, half-dead half live
40 minutes later, we're back behind bars
1 and a half more hours to go
Last bell rings and we're out for the day
4 PM heading home
Procrastination begins until half past 6
Time for homework and studying
It's now 1 AM
Climbing into bed; end of the day (or start of a new)
Eyes close. Brain shut down.
Reset.
