Awoke to the
screaming of the alarm,
a small
mechanical child on the nightstand,
who had
caught fire and yelled to be put out,
he obliged
and snuffed the cries with a fist
Shuffled to
the shower, towel still wet,
lost footing
on a noncommittal monogram bath mat,
ass cheeks
met cold porcelain,
the first
curse words of the day left his mouth
A toaster
quite fond of the last two slices of bread,
held on to
them for dear life,
until
choking out black smoke across the kitchen,
“Eff it,
breakfast at Starbucks”
Freshly
washed paint on his car, decorated
by a
feathered, flying, Jackson Pollock
who left a Rorschach
test of patience
across the
windshield of a black sedan
Hot,
delicious, brewed breakfast in hand,
was all to
eager to get to work inside,
burned the
mouth behind the steering wheel,
then
subsequently, a crotch
Not done
with it’s mischief, the coffee
began to
quickly move straight though the hero
suck in
morning traffic as he cursed
the man who
invented the roasted devil.
Finally
pulling into the parking lot
plagued with
double parkers, found a spot
and made it
inside and thankfully,
to the
executive bathroom in time.
