How to be Alert

Just finished lunch, today is not as hectic as usual…
Though things suddenly come pouring in at 5 pm just as i’m going to leave (i hate that).

I was really really really super awfully sleepy this morning.
My Slut fetched to work as usual (the sweet dear).
I needed something to keep me awake…
Something to liven up my mind…
Something to lift my chin up to the world..
(instead of slumping down and stoning)
Something to make me jump and shout,

“TODAY WILL BE A FANTASTIC DAY!!!”

…..

So i drank Milk&Malibu on the way to work.

In a red plastic cup (destroy evidence later)
“What is that…” - My Slut
“Milk.”
“ohmygod. I can’t believe you…”
“I’m sleeeeepy… it’ll wake me up!”

He shook his head in defeat as i sipped from the plastic cup and peeped at him from sideways with wide, innocent, made-up eyes.
