Morning greyness
toothpaste sweetness
Is the faucet fading away?
Struggle with the footsteps
seat myself on the first step
But where are the rest of the treads?
Mother brings a bowl
Swirling crispies on a roll
But did the sugar crystals melt away?
Into the shower she howls
As if the water's crying foul?
But listen I must or else she'll yowl.
Morning has broken
Isn't that a song?
Wonder what Cat was thinking
Nights seems to wander
Into a snooze
Left me behind
while it went chasing the starry moons.
