The Gamble

Quarter past nine

I give myself out

Like pennies for a dime

Like maybe I need change

A cloudy day hangs low

You slip out of bed

Languorously slow

Eyes ponderously half open

A sleepy day crawls

Spread out before us

As we clutch remaining walls

Sorting out our peace of reality

Love the way you used quarter, dime, pennies and " change ". Your thought process makes your writing extra juicy !
