anticipation: 1
alarm clocks
that aren't mine
go off hours before
I'm supposed to
start my day.
but i predate them
already staring out the window
watching sky from black to purple
waiting for streaks of yellow
to wrap my morning
in smiles brilliant
and unfathomable
until now

Love the use of "predate" because it changes the register of the vocabulary suddenly and also makes you sound ancient.
yeah, General, good pickup on the conscious word choice. and I am ancient. :-D
