Bad Morning

Rubbing the eyes
After slamming the clock
Stretching in bed
With a long groan
Loud enough 
To sound-like a camel

Walking to the bathroom
Adjusting eyes to the light
Barely see

Quietly walking around
Not wanting to wake one
Tiptoeing around the weak floor boards
And not flushing the toilet

Forgetting to brush teeth
Rushing to the bus stop
In the pouring rain
With no rain coat
But no chance to run back

The bus screeches from the brakes
And splashes the person aside from the puddle
She was me

What could go worse

I walk onto the bus, 
Find a seat by the window
With cold feet and wet pants
Sitting on brownie crumbs
From someone's snack yesterday

Arriving to school
Falling down the bus steps
People looking at me
No one offering help

Walking to first class of the day
I decide sleeping would be the best
Nothing could be better
