He wakes up unwilling, 4am
But the day begins at 9
There’s usually a battle for a piece of mind
After the bladder’s emptied
And metal tasting water jumped the system up
Quick check on friends
Green lit in another zone
I go quick, be unseen
I don’t want to answer
Whether I’ve yet to sleep or what woke me up
Outside there’s a car
Doing its best to rush
And beat the sunrise
He threw a girl out
With one of those muted shouts
Maintaining a no drama criteria
While inflicting mental trauma
The alcohol spoke tonight
Then everybody moved on
Back to the cold space
Their side of the bed
Longing for a bit more warmth
Before busy goes the world
