snooze alarm

people that rise
early
like to tell you
that they rise
early.
five o'clock
they say. or earlier.
no traffic,
they nod and smile.
no one's on
the road at
that time.
I'm up and out
by six.
I've got the whole
road
practically to myself.
what time
do you get up,
they ask,
yawning at four
in the afternoon?
