Coffee Beans (Unfinished)

I’m Up! I’m Up!

…………………

The pink rag, soaked in ice cold water flops onto my capsulated face,

Caught in between the colorful alligator whom follows me in the darkness and a temperature guage, set to a boiling point of some sort.

I’m Awake! I’m Awake!

…………………...

The grown imitation of me is dragging the arctic rug across my crusted sockets of sight,

I arise with immediate surprise,

My head cranks left- right-

A man’s best friend shaking a seizure to feel warm and dry,

I visualize the bottom of my mattress laying quiet and still above my head,

The coffee beans brew the smell of one more morning to begin the dilation of rested lungs,

Get Up! Get Up!

The executioner of rested thought is a parasite to my inability to exercise- Worm-like movements of some algorithm-

Off with his head!

The king of my heart screams as the comforter slides off of my immobile flesh and the residue from my eyes attracts plenty of oxygen,

Drifting off, I again visualize that slumbered alligator, whom is chasing my dreams into the Rubbermaid playground,

The creature sways in my knightly moat as I taunt the teeth of a smirk so envious- Opposable stumps we tag as a thumbs up,

Ten minutes with this shadowed beast is all I need to chomp down on prey that only exists in the wild jungle of the morrow,

Splash! Splash!
