Sauci Bosner

Woke up at 6 30.

Morning showers dripping down  the open window.

The kittens holding up the home front at the foot of the bed.

Morning guys.  Did you sleep alright.

I turn over once more, enjoying the warmth of my turquoise duvet

and the quiet of the house.

Tik tok tik tok tik tok tik tok.

My legs move softly onto the carpeted floor.

I stand. I stretch. I walk. I pish. I wash my hands and face.

Pookie rushes into the bathroom and jumps into  the sink,

His tongue moves through this morning’s waterfall.

I laugh. He runs away.

We are both creatures of habit.

Tik tok tik tok tik tok tik tok.

I drink nescafe while plucking strawberries for my breakfast.

These hanging plants are laden with ripened fruits.

Smells of jasmine, sage and mint  surround me.

Patches of blue skies poke through the grey clouds.

Time for a second round and a bit of breakfast.

I turn on the television.

9/11.

The alarm goes off.

So do I.

The day has officially begun.

Tok tik tok tik tok tik tok tik tok tik tok

Tik tok tik tok tik tok tok tok tok tok….
