Loud alarming beep
Staggering out of bed
like a zombie coming
out of the grave
Back to bed
No I can't
I must get up
The liught hurts my eyes
like looking into the sun
Down the hallway
it seems like forever
to the kitchen
the red light is glowing like a stop light
except you keep moving
in the dark
the smell is so soothing
Grabbing the pot
of freshly brewed life
French vanilla creamer
such a sweet taste
along with the natural
taste of sugar
no artificial sweetners
The first sip
like pouring a new life
into your own corpse
One cup, maybe two
perhaps three or four
Ready to start the day

One typo that I saw "liught."
ReplyDeleteThe repeated use of the word "light" is both interesting and irritating. In the line "the red light is glowing like a stop light," I suggest you use a synonym for one. That way the "light" that hurts your eyes can still find a parallel but you don't have the repetition. Nice job otherwise. - 10
