I Face Reality Collaboration

An early riser, I once was— a dynamo chockfull of verve. Well, that was then and this is now. I’ve changed a lot, as you’ll observe. I’m told that dawn still starts each day, but I don’t see it anymore. I once sipped coffee at sunrise, but this is now; that was before. Some people rise at dawn because they want to; some, because they must. I don’t want to; I don’t have to. To urge me to would be unjust! written August 8, 2019, for Contest Collaboration sponsored by Line Gauthier
