My alarm is quite different
Than everyone else's
Not a loud beeping sound
Or music
Just a small sharp feeling
over and over
on my toes
and when I open my eyes
I see a fat happy kitten
fighting with my feet as they shift beneath my quilt
and I smile
I am happy for my fat happy kitten
for waking me up
even though my toes are sore
