3 a.m.
688.
Aargh! It’s three o’clock in the morning!
I woke up an hour earlier, tossed and turned,
Got up half an hour ago
To do the washing up.
You see I’m teaching my body that
She doesn’t like doing the washing up
At 3 am but since she’s awake,
She might as well.
At least when I come down again in a few hours
The done plates and saucepans
Will be a lovely surprise.
I now know who’s the culprit in this
Horrible o’clock bushy-tailed
And bright eyed self.
It’s coffee. I’ve got you good and proper.
No coffee for a week or more,
Sleeping really well,
Not waking up in the small hours.
Coffee yesterday at 10ish.
It was really good coffee which I love
With its completely other
Paint-chart of tastes.
But.
Here I am at 3.20 am, writing,
Because the washing up is done
And I haven’t anything else boring to do
And I’m still wide-eyed and energetic.
Damn it!
