Before the alarm clock had its say
Making the warmth in which I lay
Almost Irresistible
Five minuets more please let me be
Foetal in the glow around me
Disturbed by movement time to see
Almost recoverable
Ten minuets more I lay not five
Trying not to come alive
Duvet like a lover lithe
Almost memorable
Reawakened with a cruel jerk
The alarm repeating call to work
Adrenalin like an electric shock
Almost painful
The bathroom floor on my bare feet
Chill from buttocks on toilet seat
Shower slow to produce heat
Almost bearable
Dress in the gloom without ambition
Clothes come to hand of their own volition
Only for work no hard decision
Almost comfortable
Kettle boils coffee is made
Only instant I’m afraid
Cereal, muesli, milk is greyed
Almost edible
The curtains open just a bit
Reveal leaden sky from where I sit
Almost suicidal
Rain eases as I open the door
Wetness creeps in to the floor
Depression now I must endure
Almost tangible
Bus stop appears in the murk
Another commuter going to work
Familiar face turns to look
Almost Visible
The sight of you warms my heart
My feelings desperate to impart
Conversation I try to start
Almost viable
Mutter something about the rain
Smiling Eyes penetrate my brain
But shyness wins the day again
Most reliable
The bus arrives a twenty one
Passengers arriving at the run
But I remain and you are gone
Bloody Typical
