get out of bed

it's a risk.

what isn't. leaving the house
is a risk.

anything could happen.
a bird could fly
into your head.

getting dressed,
a shoe lace breaking,

a sweater ripped.

meeting someone for lunch
then

saying the wrong thing
at the wrong moment,
or
reaching over
to give her a kiss,

because you've had one
too many bloody marys

could be a disaster.
ordering Indian food instead
of steak and potatoes,

turning right,
and not left.

the whole day can be a cup
of crazy,

but at some point,
you have to get out
of bed.
