she's an early riser

she

likes to make a smoothie

in the morning.

i can hear

the blender

in the kitchen

churning berries

and bananas,

whey protein

and a variety of nuts.

she's already

in her yoga pants

ready

for Pilates.

she yells

up,

do you want one.

can i make you a smoothie?

no,

i yell down.

pancakes will be fine,

and a donut.

why are you up so early?

it's only

ten o'clock.
