5:30
get up, face on
immaculacy and delicious
sweet as a tart
all that is needed is
done and
the sun is bright and
yellow
hello, 6:00
eyes flutter and
leggings and a sweater are
today's comfort but
you begin to ache and push on to
perfection? it is unnecessary but
6:30 oh yes, yes it is
as you pull on a pair of sweats
and up your short hair
and work like a pack mule,
only accepting the glittery shiny things but
life is dull and gray and
unsatisfying until
6:51 and you do not,
can not,
get out of bed and your
pajamas stick to your
arms and legs
but your outer crust is solid and
gilded
