Morning they call it

Morning they call it When the alarm clock erupts Startled from sleeping Rudely, It interupts   The dream you were having About all kinds of things Faces and meetings Vividly seen Once your awake You'll forget everything     The warmth of the duvet The pillow so soft Outside the rain lashes The windows a drum A tune beat too quickly Rhythmically thrummed   You press the snooze button For nine minutes more Aware as you do so That you won't have much time to snore   Just as sleep takes you Back towards nod The shrill of the demon Awakes you, Oh god!   Dragging your carcus From out of the bed The carpet beneath you Hair wild on your head   Thoughts of your purpose Today in the world Appointments and driving This grey early dawn Overcast and down-cast This week will be long     AGL
