What Wakes Me Up

Monday – just happens 'round 5 am. Tuesday – pretty much happens, but set alarm clock just in case. Wednesday - alarm clock more often than not. Thursday - alarm clock if I hear it, but sometimes I don't. Thursday's a perpetual late day. Friday – Fear of repercussion from being late on Thursday . Saturday – what for? Sunday – The sunrise the bird chirps the cats wanting food. The garden, the neighborhood, breakfast with who knows who. My religion's quite offbeat, I recognize that. And Sabbath means something to me where I'm at.

Yeah, I think so but thinking is vastly overrated and I'm seeking some balance so will forestall, postpone and otherwisely defer the question 'til i've got a song to sing on incense wings smoothly or roughly depending.
