Waking up to the 
smell of sweaty socks
much like a locker room
at the gym.

Took my morning brew outside -
relieving my lungs of the staleness
of a closed room.

The air much to be 
a relief as I watch the clouds
and trees moving in a world 
of continual change.

Nothing ever to stay the same
except for change - and fresh morning
air cooling my brew - good thing
to be living alone - who else
could put up with the stench
of sweaty socks - or a stale room?
