and awake, awake, no sleep now, grey cold dawn outside. Bathroom, first stop. Change the brush part of the electrical toothbrush, the old brush looks like an over- used broom. Toothpaste.
The son is up already, tidying things away in that new shelf of his, filling the space for his schoolbooks with his computers. New systems will not tidy things on their own, A new shelf will not increase tidiness on its own. All that happens is that the surface area that disorder may use is increased.
Human voice from the machine, the sons friends are back online, all playing in their sandbox. Go and get dressed, that computer has a camera, they can see. It is like the Orwell book, nineteen eighty four.
Being watched from afar by a machine with an eye, eerie.
From outside the room it sounds as if there are four people in there.
In reality, there is only one.
But it is better than playing alone, a thing well known and sorely remembered.
Awake, agape,
The weekend will be spent cleaning the house.
Suppose
There is no idea and no plan now.
