Jim van den Bos
I wake up, get up, I eat a little, I turn the lights on.
I shower, dress, brush, and look past the mirror.
Unlock my bike and cycle, not really watching the road.
I listen to old songs. Wait at the stoplight. Continue.
I say hello, I make a coffee, two sugars, who cares, and sit
Log in, stupid keyboard, login again. Check my mail.
Some complaints, one new meeting. And some spam.
I take a break, pee, go back and work some more.
I finish up, Turn the screen off and grab my coat. Say “bye”.
Unlock, bike, cycle, turn the key. I left the lights on, stupid.
I reheat, I eat, smoke and some coffee to keep me going.
Television on, zap, zap, nothing. I put a predictable movie on.
Grab crisps. Treat myself, one glass. Movie ends.
I turn the screens off. Get up, pee, turn the lights off.
Adjust the pillows. Forgot my phone. Charger, alarms.
I undress, lie in bed, start to think and I might fall asleep.
