My roommate’s socks
penetrate walls
and envelop rooms.
His morning routine
is my 6 am alarm clock;
thumping into shorts,
bumping into tables,
and blending a protein shake
on his way to the gym.
Our DVR is filled with banal
sit-coms, murder mysteries,
and reality TV.
When he leaves a dirty knife in the sink,
I smile and think.

His morning jog
is a cacophonic alarm clock;
thumping into shorts,
bumping into tables,
and shouting pump-up songs
in an out of key reminder
of my own laziness.
