Way To Go

My sarcastic morning greeting
When I awaken at 1
And my first class started at 10
Was is worth it?
Absolutely not!
I didn’t really need to know
How two clichéd characters
Beat all obstacles in the name of love
I returned, for the moment
To that cycle of old
Where the escape from my failure
Prevents later success
Romeo and Juliet
Are easier than the OSI Model
For a time, my greatest ambition
Is to vicariously be loved for all that I am
But creeping daylight pulls me
From my fantasy
While anxiety and fatigue duke it out
For the grand prize that is my day
The belt fits fatigue nicely
