free drinks

the sons alarm clock sounds, think: there is no need to get up now, it is an overtime day.
A day on which there is no need to go to work.

Stay in bed stay asleep.

There is the sound of the coffee maker, the grumbling sound of the Pavoni pressure pump.
The son, making coffee? He is too young, he does not normally drink coffee.
The sound of the bedroom door opening, the son brings in a cup for the wife.
Then he sees his father there, he is not at work, he exclaims "Oh"

He returns to the kitchen,
There is the sound of the coffee maker, the grumbling sound of the Pavoni pressure pump.

The son brings in another cup of coffee.
That is very nice of him, it is now seven thirty.
Say good morning and thank you.
It is a kind luxury, coffee brought whilst still in bed.

But hear him leave the house.
The coffee is beside the bed.
Nod off.

Ten minutes later the coffee is cold, drink it more quickly,
Go to the bathroom.
Last nights clothing is still there.
A waiter slipped and fell at the restaurant last night.
Two half litres of beer all over
the trousers and the floor.
It was not far to go home,
to the shower, a change of clothing
and then to return later
to the restaurant, an apologetic waiter, and a few free drinks.
