2 a.m. and still in bed
dreaming about the future,
maybe even the past

Time for school approaches
as the alarm reads six
radio station tuned,
but not coming in clearly.
6 a.m. and still asleep
listening to the music
playing in the back

An hour passes
and late for school
cloths ready,
but nothing to bring.
Late for school
and nothing to work with.
A sudden fright
as first period approaches
" Oh no!!" he says--
without a book in sight.
Forgetting his stuff
rushes to the phones.
NO ONE HOME!!!

As first bell rings
the sleeping child wakes up with a fright.
"Oh it was just a dream," he says
in a soft, but frightened voice
Clock reads two
and back to bed he goes
asleep again
now,
dreaming of nothing
