Don't Wake The Neighbors

An alarm is going off
in an apartment
across the way,
it is the morning after
the summer solstice.

Are they going to miss
an important meeting
or other appointment?
I hope not, that would
be a shame.

I do not know their
name, only that,
like me, they are alive
and in need of going
about their day.

Its sound pulses.
How much longer
until they heed it?
Will they or
is it far too late?
