THE CONDITIONAL COMFORT OF THE SNOOZE BUTTON
Thoughts pretend
Actions are real
Seek comfort,
Make a deal.
Reality is enhanced in your dreams,
and dreams become what they seem,
and you sleep knowing the alarm bell will wake you so you won’t miss your bus to destiny…
Routine runs
while daylight fades,
so how can you be what I say?
How can I ignore the warnings,
when I know that changes
can be so alarming?
Strange women come and slap my face,
and what if I sleep till noon tonight, the alarm bell will wake me in due time to catch my bus to destiny…
Beer and pretzels
Warm recliner
Espresso coffee at roadside diners
My head is thoroughly confused
Synapses fried with too much news
I don’t want to think no more,
‘Cause I’ve a snooze button I command when the alarm clock warns me I should stand and take my bus to destiny…

Thank you, Francesco, for the interesting and meaningful poem that would resonate with many, but for me, it is an anathema because I never had an alarm clock, and I wake up without fail just by saying it before sleeping, what time I need to be up. Needless to say, I got to catch any bus or the train, and my destiny too!
