5:36 am

I break open my eyes
and remember to be awake

I stretch and breath
on the only patch of floor that fits

I wash
I dress
I eat

6:15 am

I leave

The sun will beat me out for a few more months
then it will be slow to wake
and fast asleep

I say thanks as I cross the street

6:25 pm

I am given the words to speak
They are blessed
but there is nothing said

I finish my wine

11:29 am

I see faces and hear voices
I judge and I'm alone

I say thanks that I am not in control

2:33 pm

I ask for wisdom
and words
and strength
and love
and peace
and sight

I ask twice

9:08 am

I pass my reflection
All this too is vanity

I move to consume without guilt

3:52 pm

I am home

I wax poetic in my own words
I throw them away

5:41 pm

My heart skips
and I understand the just completed dream
but when did I drift off?

10:54 pm

I have wasted an hour
so I lie down
to better use my time

12:01 am

I have fallen asleep tomorrow
I look forward to it
