snore

Wednesday, 9th of september
There is a cacophony of alarms now, now
That the son is back at school. He is going

back to a changed situation, two years of continuous assessment now.

Hear the first alarm go off again, to be silenced by the son. Then go into the bathroom. 
Return to the bedroom, dress in day clothing.
Read the news, then the son's second alarm sounds. After a while, it wakes the wife, and she calls out to him to silence the noise. He compöoes, and is to be heard getting up, putting on his clothes. The wife has tolled over and has gone back to sleep.

The son come into his parents bedroom, he ask whether anybody wants coffee.
Assent, that is a nice idea.

The wife starts to snore.
The son returns with a cup of coffee, then he goes back out to the kitchen.

 He returns with another cup and leaves it on the small table by the bed.
He rolls his eyes and grinss at hte snores emanating from the pile of blankets on the bed.

Drink up, go to work.
