get going

you have to go to work
now. you can't keep
sitting here
in a half wet towel
around your waist
typing. your feet
are cold. you still
have to brush your
teeth and get some
clothes on. any second
now, you are going
to get up and get
going. get some coffee,
gas up, go to
the paint store
and begin your day
at the office, up
high on a ladder
with nothing but
a cold blue sky
above you.
any second now.
