waking up with cold water

as i stand
under
the pulse of frozen ropes of water
coming out
of the shower,
the sleep
leaves me,
the weariness goes
away.
dreams
and sluggishness dissolves.
yes it hurts,
yes it stings.
but i know no other
way
to come alive
in the morning, and then
coffee.
unless
Betty arrives.
