Slow On the Fifth Day
on the fifth day she did it again
up with the alarm into the shower
the water ran hot hotter
while she planned the dinner
tasks at lunch
mentally paid the bills
out - towel
face cream, hair dryer makeup
work clothes
make the dogs' food
write notes for the teens chores
breakfast lunch book in her bag
into the car
slight chill in the air
blinking blinking
she cleared the webs from her brain to drive
one more day
one more day
slow on the fifth day
