the rooster

old people
which you are quickly
becoming
one of
like to brag
about how early
they get up.
I got up at five
one man
says, while the
other shakes his
head and
says, that's nothing
I get up
every morning
at four thirty
and do
five leg lifts
before putting in
my teeth.
i'm up before
the rooster crows
he says
sticking his
chest out,
and coughing.
