A sharp crack to start the day.
A hangover headache pierces my consciousness,
Dragging me from sleep.
Coffee and a hot shower to get myself right.

Spend the day puttering around the house.
Vacuum cleaner roars, dust rag hisses.
Lunch, then shave.
Pack lunch and go to work.

Long bus commute.
Go to work, stand behind the counter.
Customers are so stupid, inconsiderate, sloppy, messy.
Spend night putting away movies, tidying up, cashing out.

Now, time to go home.
Long bus ride home, longer when connections are missed.
Get home, have another beer.
Watch Torchwood, Doctor Who.

Go to bed.
Sleep.
Get up, start all over again.
