I Have to Be More

My alarm cried in my ears

I shot up like an arrow

Planted my right foot first

Left foot second

Expanded my body like an accordion to yawn and stretch my arms

I drove to school

I dusted off the happy mask and fit it to my face before I drove to work

I swore in the car about how much I hated my job on the way home

Tossed my tie here

Apron over there

I stepped in the bathroom and drew a bath. I check the water temperature for my liking. The water meets my skin and I quickly draw my hand back in pain. Buzzing noises and sparks come from my finger tips. I keep forgetting

Robots don’t shower..

I go to bed

My alarm cried in my ears

I shot up like an arrow

Planted my right foot first

Left foot second
