domestic life

i start the day with a boiled
egg
coffee
and the paper
the radio on.
the chair pulled out
from the table.
the dog
wagging her tail
at another dog
outside
the window.
i adjust my tie, put
the dishes in the sink
then grab my
briefcase.
i kiss the wife
goodbye. she's still
asleep.
off i go,
see you tonight i tell
her.
have a good day,
she pulls away her sleeping
mask and sighs.
why'd you wake
me up? it's not even
nine.
