Mini Heartbreak Over Math Homework

Clipped sentences 

Twice awoken by the cold in the night

An unanswered text 

Oh God, I think, here we go again


I turn off my alarm (snooze thrice, timer once)

Sleep through the first half of what I want

Remember the piles of problems (quotient rule, product rule)

I can feel the apathy cracking my skin


Remember the old days? 

The sun and her rays 

Hands on hands, the skin of my teeth 

Calculus makes my heart break just a little


This math homework (sigh)

I’m never getting it done, am I?

This year will never end, will it?

Can this all be over already? (When? When? When?)
