BRAZIL, Part VII

"R-r-r-ring!"
The day begins.
Slow, lazy stretch
Then
Up out of bed and
Quick in the shower
Put on your clothes it's
Half past the hour
Grab your books it's
Study time and
Here we start to
Pick up pace and
Grab a bite
Out the door
Time is short we
Don't have more so
Hit the road
On the bus
Down the street like we
Know we must and it's
Quicker now we
Don't have time so
Hit the road
Running now
Teach and run
Here we go
Night has come
Hit the sack
The Day is gone there's no
Going back
So softly slowly sink into sleep
The pillow beckons, soft, and deep
Slow now.
Until Tomorrow.

Joel Benjamin Warner, 20 July 1987
