Sometimes
you just gotta smack yourself awake,
shake the sleep from your bones
and wiggle your toes

those times are for when you forget
to buy coffee and the only thing to drink
is tap champagne
( water with Alka Seltzer )
there's some detox tea
which makes me ***
and something with vanilla in it
oh
wait a minute
no
that's ice cream

I could really do a double espresso
that'd make me get up
but not necessarily go

Tuesday
was
designed to be
scaled
so far
I have failed

nil points.
not quite 5am
I still have time
