at 3 a.m.
you will rise
and come to me

the computer
will stay on, and say
this to me before I
go to bed my husband

says I
am wasting
electricity

it takes one recycled cola can
to equal the production energy
of two hours of leaving
the computer on, idle

more
if I don’t get up from the bed
right away

I am bad
I am killing the planet
slowly, these hours and minutes
add up.
