It's 10:57 A.M., yet again

the sun's rays have slashed

their way through my blinds

and I'm turning onto my side

in an innocent embrace

with my pillow who has been present

in last night's mental manifestations

I curl and crack my toes together

like people who have no rhythm

and stretch myself until I bump

my head against the headboard

like I always do, and somehow

still manage to startle myself

in that exact same fashion

I recall today being a rest day

thus, no gym visits will be paid

and for a moment, I close my eyes

internally contemplating a return

back to sleep or back to work

a deep inhale follows

it's 12:26pm, yet again.
