online morning

 awake agape late, light in the window, it is eight
strange  thoughts, a long night, a film on television
the son storms into the bedroom, enraged, furious, he had overslept his appointed class half an hour ago.
Rage and fury, the wife goes out to console him, but why did he not set his alarm clocks?
as he does every day-
he is angry and blames not himself but his parents, and it is his own failure.
think of the alarm clocks sounding early in the past and realise that he is angry at his father for not having made those usual early morning noises grinding coffee, and the break from the routine.
Depending on how the matter is viewed, it is the fathers fault.
No, it is not.
Yes it is.
no
yo!


Fall back to sleep amid the sound of an online discussion from the son's room.
