title: Time Bomb Snooze Alarm
author:  Bucky Sinister 
description: Hey everyone, this book is a nice followup to the poems in <i>All Blacked Out &amp; Nowhere to Go</i>. There's a lot of poems about other people in my life. <i>All Blacked Out</i> focused on my life in the punk scene, and many of these poems take place in the same time frame. This collection has a lot of poems ruminating on my life in the Mission District. &quot;Elegy for the Old Hunt's&quot; in <i>All Blacked Out</i> inspired me to write a lot of other poems about people and places in the Mission. <br><br>I took a break from poetry for a few years, writing only sporadically. During this break, I wrote two self help books about drug and alcohol addiction, and started performing comedy. Learning standup has helped my poetry immensely. It's like I have a whole new set of tools with which to build a book.

  ##  Chapter One
  
  
  
  
  
  By the time jumpy goes off at 5 in the morning, I’m already up and ready for
  the day. Jumpy is a round, enchanted clock that basically works like any other
  digital clock, but unlike non-magical alarms you can’t press snooze on this
  one, because it will literally jump on your head until you wake up.
  
  
  I know what you’re thinking and no, you can’t punch it. From experience, I
  happen to know that it dissolves as soon as you try to touch it, then it
  becomes whole again and just as bouncy as ever. It can also yell at you to
  wake up. All in all, it’s a very interesting — and in most cases annoying —
  device. However, I love my jumpy. His name is Rory, and he’s a translucent red
