no later than nine

i don't use
the alarm clock anymore.
what's the point.
i have no bus
to catch,
no train, no office
to get to.
in fact
i can't remember
the last time i set it
in order
to get up on time.
it could have been a wedding
at the courthouse,
someone else's
or mine,
or a doctor's visit.
but now,
i just tell myself,
around 8 would be nice,
but no later
than nine.
