Morning Chat With Myself
(Bobbi’s Challenge)
Only half awake,
Sitting in the kitchen,
I nurse a cup of coffee
Hoping for the caffeine rush
To chase me from
My fading dream
Entranced by the angelfish
Swimming mindlessly
In his artificial ocean
I make the connection
“He is not unlike me on
My daily commute to the city”
“What is the purpose of colorless sheer curtains?”
I see the darkness of night
Fading and yielding to
A rose colored sky
Thinking “Red sky in morning…”
I laugh, “Sailor take warning, you bet cha!”
I grab a dress from my closet
Toss a towel on the counter
“Damn, I hate ironing
Seatbelt just wrinkles it again anyway”
I recall the first time I wore this dress
“It was when I dated that clown…what’s his name…?”
“Dammit!” burned my arm on the freakin iron
“Man!!! What a sting!!
How many years have I been ironing???
Still haven’t figured it out, way to go, girl!!”
Radio blaring some garbage
About kids beating up their teacher
The world has become embroiled,
Conflict and chaos everywhere
Homeless people on every corner
“There but for the grace of God go I, I suppose”
Check the news about the traffic
Get advice on the alternates
“Jeez, another day,”
Starts the same as all the rest
“I wonder what little surprises
I will have when I get to work, today?!!”
“Doesn’t really matter, I guess
At least Friday is payday”

You really did do a superb job on Bobbi's Challenge, considering you had the handicap of a bad migraine, it must have been that coffee that did the trick !!
