homework

homework is boring
homework is lame.
i'd rather be in bed snoring
than awake and in pain.

i arise in the 8 o'clock hour
with my hair messy and parted,
and stumble on my way to the shower,
then off to get homework started.

i sit at a table for what seems like days,
creating smoke from my pen like a purple haze.
my mind grows tired and begins to evade,
but my dad just reminds me of the progress i've made.

after undefined hours of work
i finally get around to a finish for the day.
i get on the computer with a silly smirk,
now knowing that on Friday, i'll be okay.
