Morninghater

Out of the granite and into the green

Thursday, February 08, 2007

This is why I'm Morninghater:

rise from a detached dream
can't see the clock for the glare
Sara says, "get up!"
I'm up
cloudy eyes
sleep lingers
leave the warmth
for the shower
a slow trickle issues forth
try to fix
scorching hot water
scream and stomp
naked in the shower
scream some more
curse this morning
curse my life
hope people think I'm crazy
opt for the bathtub
water flows
squat to wash derf
wash hair at awkward angle
water everywhere
get up
get dressed
get out
another day
more arctic winds
sun don't warm
long walk ahead
somewhere a better life
far from here
