Read a poem by another poet written
on the same day:

SLOP

6 am—alarm—
don't wanna wake up—
another school day—stuff to
get done.
the room is cold.  floor is
cold.  take shower and eat
breakfast: cereal or oatmeal
and orange juice.  maybe
banana.  eat while watching
today show—or local news or
whatever's on that seems
intriguing.  pack my bag and
my lunch and drive to
class.

class is over and off to
work.
          work is over and back home.
make dinner of some sort—
whatever's in the fridge
from last night or the night
before or the night before that—
stick it in microwave and—ding!
eat dinner, watch TV—
whatever's intriguing though no
cable.  lay in bed, read a book
for a bit and make sure alarm is set.
