I left my house unaware,

Ignorant of watch and clock.

Fleeing my home with uncombed hair,

I saw it pass the block.

I saw the streak of orange yellow,

10 seconds and 30 feet ahead,

And a useless plea I did bellow,

“STOP, STOP, I JUST LEFT BED”

So I acted on one option,

The one I did not plan,

Whose soreness plagued me post-adoption,

I ran.
