The alarm clock buzzes to announce the start of the day,
I pull my head from the pillow and throw the covers out of the way.
I stumble to the shower and try to get the water just right.
Is that shampoo or conditioner? I can’t tell in the dark of the night.
I pull out of the driveway and it’s still too dark outside,
On the highway, I jockey for position amidst traffic for most of the ride.
Finally, into the office, I set my bag on my seat,
The sun is finally up as I dash down the block for my morning treat.
“Large iced coffee, leave some room for milk, please.”
The baristas whip around and create it with ease.
A little bit of sweetener to get it just right.
At last, the first sip and it’s always pure delight!
