My mother announced:
“I’m going to bed!”
And with that my night began.
E-mails and IMs didn’t keep me awake;
They only used up an unsleepy hour.
A rerun of the Cosby variety
Barely satisfied thirty minutes.
Cleaned out two dresser drawers
(No, I’m not kidding);
Still not tired!
Tuned into the radio;
Turned off by the absurdity.
If I were at school
I could run upstairs or down,
Splash in the rain,
Get some food
(Remembered: I just polished off two brownies),
Or discuss life.
Oh these summer nights
Could not be any more boring.
Vacation, huh?
More like ho-humity.
