06:00 goes the alarm. 06:05 I am up and out of the door.
You don’t wake up,
you don’t even know.
The wine has flown,
generous with the berry,
sweet and sour,
you enjoyed it dearly.
But times’ up as daylight shone,
Upon the trail we left
but I wish not to own.
And now hear, a whisper satanic,
you say, ”Go not so quickly.”
I get jitters, my knees go weak.
My palms all sweaty.
This really can’t be.
There are a number of ways of managing the mornign after. Like making breakfast, or letting him make the breakfast. Or going out for a coffee. May be, not sleeping at all and chatting so long that you croak at dawn. May be you can be comfortable. May be it makes sense to make the morning after a continuation of the night before.
But NO! Period! Its stupid and crazy! Set your clock for an alarm. Get out. Leave no trace. Run. Ha! …Phew! Thats the only way to manage well the morning after. But, what if he asks you to stay?
Dear Lord, civil behaviour can be such a pain in the behind! And my knees go weak and my palms all sweaty. I need to run, before you wake to see!
