Ad Hoc

mmm lips are dry should drink some more water i’m comfortable here it’s warm more water more restful sleep though more efficient six hours is all i’m getting at this point anyway ok more restful for less comfort now of course just enough left in the pitcher to make this a thing lights am I really just standing here waiting for the water to filter worth it still plant looking a little dry hey looks like we’ll all be getting a good drink before bed green mops winking in the shadows like kids watching through dreamy eyelashes father’s silhouette washing up for bed got to look closely watering without glasses and just the sole stark kitchen light going by sound mostly dribbled again bamboo always fills up quick but it doesn’t matter big picture i should write this down at some point interesting anecdote connects to life in a real life kind of way now time for my water see how much has filtered looks low enough pour slowly so none of those filtered flecks go into the glass don’t want to give them any funny ideas So I’ll drink the rest here at bedside. Writing this very sentence down. Lights out in the kitchen. There’s a little black speck a couple more whitish ones. I’ll drink them anyway. Finish the story and go to bed. More restful.
