bleary-eyed girl
grimaces
'fucking alarm clock'
grope of a hand
push of a button
silence
drowziness prevails
closes eyes
willing body to move
not happening
stares
at ceiling for five
thinks about today for 10
wriggles fingers
pushes covers
stumbles out of bed
slaps at lightswitch
kicks at laundry
bends with a creak
to clothe body
opens door
drags feet down hall
looks in mirror
shrieks
then calms
oh mornings
mornings
mornings........
