10am means,
           I awake at eight
               quietly plotting my dreams
                                             and at seven,
                                                           
                                                              I barely exist
                                                                   from six
                                                      -- & God,             it's 
                                                              much too early
                                                                 & too late
                                              to pick up these hours 
                                              like sticks,
                                              and lug them home
