(a schedule of my day)
Monday
6:34 AM
Wake up,
hop in the shower.
(Think of you in the shower,
think of us in the shower,
soapy beard in the shower.)
7:13 AM
Get dressed,
make breakfast.
(Think of you cooking breakfast,
think of us eating breakfast,
[self-proclaimed] world famous cheesy hash browns at breakfast.)
7:48 AM
Grab my things,
go to class.
(Think of you doing homework,
think of us doing homework,
your furrowed brow doing homework.)
7:42 PM
Come home,
dinner and TV.
(Think of you watching TV,
think of us watching TV,
“I need popcorn, don’t go onto the next episode without me!!” pause the TV.)
11:31 PM
Brush my teeth,
get to bed.
(Think of you in bed,
think of us in bed,
the roll over and pull closer in bed.)
2:49 AM
Fall asleep,
dreams begin.
(You in my dreams,
us in my dreams,
the past has become dreams.)
Tuesday
6:34 AM
Wake up,
hop in the shower.
(Think of you in the shower,
think of us in the shower,
soapy beard in the shower.)
Endure it all again.
Life without you?
Exhausting.
