i arise beginning the morning routine
brushing and showering away
bacterial colonies having sprung up during the night
greasing down the cracks and ashy skin
donning either pajamas or street clothes
it depends – maybe stepping out but probably staying in
slipping on worn out house shoes
shuffling across the floorboards
a short trip to the kitchen
a steaming morning cocktail needs preparing
i await its consumption, promising zest
to awaken this still sleep-filled mind
a push of the button on the blender
containing protein, vegetables and fruits
loudly swirls its nutrient-dense meal
the dishes in the sink beg for attention
my computer is more insistent
you’ll just have to wait
read, read, read – hundreds of emails needing attention
clack, clackity, clack – creativity is unleashed
write, send, await a response
project one – putting on additional deails
project two – just begun
project three – nah, let’s wait till tomorrow
i’m coming dishes and exercises
and other things i don’t want to do
what shall dinner be today
couch time, tv time, hubs time
catching up with gossip, whining and lovin’
getting satiated on food and drink
the hours always seem to pass too quickly
if only i had 24 times 2 hours in a day
then i see all that i’ve accomplished
… and i wonder why i’m tired at the end of the day
