ten more minutes

rain on the window, tapping and snarling,
cannot entrap me in warm sheltered bed,
but something more evil, much more alarming,
is working it's madness, invading my head,
minutes tick over, the moment is nearing,
i'm sleeping, i'm sleeping, please leave me alone!
i'm anxious, i'm sweating, it's silent, it's blaring;
i'm hopelessly lost in the snooze button zone.
