The sun crept through broken blinds, throwing streaks of sunlight onto the instep of my left foot. I reach out for the cool side of the pillow and turn my head to lie my other cheek.
- Too soon
The daylight is a severe offender against the desire for sleep.
My spine is stretching.
Dirty cotton sheets swab lazy skin / electric smooth-skin / ghoul-skin.
My stomach is turning.
A soundless voice echoes.
"Tomorrow is today."
It is time to force a roll over and press sweaty feet down on luke-warm tile, sticky with years of bad night nicotine blues. Eyes close and senses breathe; a thin film covers my body like diseased satin. I can taste my breath. I'm starting to get used to rousing, standing and walking the same dusty routines of muscular and mental torsion.
