the snooze button

you've pressed the snooze
button many times.
sometimes for years
at a time.
months or days.
you just don't want
to get up on a rainy
day, a snow
filled icy day.
a work day.
a too hot day.
a go down to the dmv
day. a wedding day.
the let's have a talk
day and decide where
this relationship is going
day. so you hit the button
again and again,
just ten more minutes.
ten more blissful minutes,
and then i'll get up.
