TO BE EXPUNGED IF NOT OBLITERATED
waking up
not waking
and not up
checking
breath
heart beat
noises from other rooms
familiar
may be good
cat's presence almost obvious
though
toes are not under attack
take mask off
one relief achieved
need to leave bed
and
walk to next relief
calculate urgency
wake
still not up
urgency is more urgent
swinging feet down
not so easy
must roll body
disregard upper left arm muscle pain
remember position of cane
slow walk
28 steps to sit
no need for a sigh
plan new moves
to wash
to clean
to call for choice of breakfast
eggs
how many
with salad
or cheese
blue, i think i should choose
tea
apple cider vinegar first
arrange pills
by size and colour
tea already tepid
look for newspaper
search glasses
prioritize
sports, politics, murders
singular or en masse
visualize art and authors
silently vocalize concerts
wake up
consider options
PC or bed
choice of relief
check the ferry boats
wonder who rides them
and who missed them
for another few minutes
of
bed
or relief
as always
