day off

you lean over
the sink and stare
into the  mirror.
you stick your tongue
out, check for
something that your
aren't sure of.
you throw some cold
water onto your face
and brush your teeth.
you spit in the sink
then look at the top
of your head. a few hairs
are growing faster
than some of the others
so you get the clippers
and buzz them off.
you pinch the sides
of your hips to see
if you can afford a
scone this morning.
nope. but you do
need coffee. what
time is it anyway.
