stay in bed longer, rest a while more. There is no need for an automatic rising, or getting up like a waking machine. And it is not fair, for there is no advantage to it, other than that it is possible to obsess on back pains and a shortness of breath. Normally, there is the overriding imperative of having to be in time for the bus, of being on time for work.
not today
lie in bed
misery
lesser pains and aches
a hissing in the right ear
that only went away once
Get up
grab the clothes
a cup of black coffee
a bit of yesterdays roll
some butter and cheese
a sort of breakfast, all alone at home.
The others are all asleep.
And then the son gets up,
gets ready to go out
he wants to go,
to go to the cafe
saturday ritual
now
