my alarm clock screams at six sharp,
i hit snooze like it owes me money,
ten minutes later i'm running around like a headless chicken,
searching for matching socks that disappeared into thin air;
the coffee maker gurgles its morning song,
mom yells about burning the toast again,
i grab yesterday's shirt from the chair,
hoping nobody notices the wrinkles look like a roadmap;
taxi driver asks for double fare,
traffic moves slower than my grandpa's morning walk,
a delivery truck decides to take a nap in the middle of the road,
while i check my watch like it might magically slow down time;
office elevator breaks down on the fifth floor,
my lunch box leaks soup all over my bag,
the wifi crashes right before my presentation,
but somehow everything works out like a movie ending;
evening brings the same beautiful mess,
street vendor's hot dogs calling my name,
life's just a series of small disasters,
that somehow add up to something pretty amazing.
