In A Life, A Day

In The Life, A Day.

In the morning, I struggle to gather myself.
With my eyes closed to the spring sun,
I move my back off the mattress
and my bare feet onto the floor.

In the afternoon, I regret skipping breakfast.
Whilst at work, I scrounge for freebees.
Fruit and roast beef?! Not bad at all!
And better than fresh, it was free.

In the evening, I neglect my homework and chores
and instead I drink rum cocktails
or beer while I cackle with friends.
I think that’s what lifes’ meant to be.

In the late night, I stumble a mile back home.
I undress and I brush my teeth.
I move my bare feet off the floor
and my back onto the mattress.
