What was your very first thought when you woke up today? Did you stretch eyes closed, stretch, Behind closed lids look up left or right, Morning Creek, snaps, cracks, loosening those joints stiffened overnight, Did you stretch, eyes closed, deep breath, big morning smile, Or sit up, sigh, eyes open, lay back down for awhile, I sit on the edge of the bed while my mind starts to reboot, rub a hand over stubble, mental note to shave, Maybe, I can probably go one more day, Do you, like me, now pick from column B, or coulumn A, Take my morning constitutional, hmm, cereal or fruit? Still haven't moved yet, but I have changed hands, not rubbing my face, I'm in my Thinking man's stance, sitting though, on the edge of my bed, Time to start moving and out of my head, Like that's gonna happen, my brain doesn't take breaks, Whether I'm studying psychological pathology or which flavor kool-aide to make, of course, grape, Which reminds me, I need to go to the store, I need real food in the house, Man, I don't feel like going to the grocery store, 7-11 is gonna cost so much more, throwing money away, It is closer though, what the hell, three days to payday, Okay, now what was I, that's right, bathroom time, Grab my phone, I know you gotta go Gunner, my dog, but get in line, I'll end this before the lavatory, that's just, I couldn't do y'all that way, anyway, What was your very first thought when you woke up today?

Really, I'm Awake
What was your very first thought when you woke up today? Did you stretch eyes closed, stretch, Behind closed lids look up left or right, Morning Creek, snaps, cracks, loosening those joints stiffened overnight, Did you stretch, eyes closed, deep breath, big morning smile, Or sit up, sigh, eyes open, lay back down for awhile, I sit on the edge of the bed while my mind starts to reboot, rub a hand over stubble, mental note to shave, Maybe, I can probably go one more day, Do you, like me, now pick from column B, or coulumn A, Take my morning constitutional, hmm, cereal or fruit? Still haven't moved yet, but I have changed hands, not rubbing my face, I'm in my Thinking man's stance, sitting though, on the edge of my bed, Time to start moving and out of my head, Like that's gonna happen, my brain doesn't take breaks, Whether I'm studying psychological pathology or which flavor kool-aide to make, of course, grape, Which reminds me, I need to go to the store, I need real food in the house, Man, I don't feel like going to the grocery store, 7-11 is gonna cost so much more, throwing money away, It is closer though, what the hell, three days to payday, Okay, now what was I, that's right, bathroom time, Grab my phone, I know you gotta go Gunner, my dog, but get in line, I'll end this before the lavatory, that's just, I couldn't do y'all that way, anyway, What was your very first thought when you woke up today?
