sleeping in

it's the birds
at first
that awaken you,
tweeting madly
about something,
maybe love,
or some disagreement,
but soon it's
the garbage truck
backing up
with the beep beep beep
loudly
resonating throughout
the neighborhood.
this is followed
by the landscapers
with handheld
machinery
blowing things around,
or cutting grass,
trimming brush
and trees.
maybe it's time to get
up,
after all it's almost
11 a.m.
and i need coffee.
