Inactivity
(c)2012 Bob Atkinson
“Oh No,” she said as she woke up
waking me from my deep sleep
“it's late we must arise
much too late to delay, get with it !!”
eyes closed, I asked her
“what time is it now?”
7:14am in the morning
was her response so softly sighed
eyes still closed I calculated
what that meant to me
did we have appointments?
or somebody we must see?
no, to those two questions
then what could it be so hot
to roust us from our sleep
to stand at the coffee pot
asked her what's important
that we must hurry fast
to get ready for nothing
no scheduled tasks
this, she couldn't answer
didn't have a clue
I thought as I showered
I know what she must do
end her inactivity
do something with her time
no matter what it is
wasting life, to her, was a crime
