morning drive

Woke up to start my day
452 am.
snooze
501
up. heart racing, imagining i slept in
it wouldnt be the first time

woke up to a rumpled brunette looking at me
still smelling like that 7.99 clairol that drenched the blond the night before.
stumble to my car
still smelling like that newcar smell.

navigate the way through blinking yellow and
slick pavement
grip the wheel still terrified of
slick pavement

like that time i tumbled
upside down
undercarriage over me
upside down
in the drivers seat
upside down
this life can be
upside down.
spinning
stopped
straight.
park the car.

ten minutes early.

im still proving something.
