I don't know if it's normal
to wake up at 5:45 A.M.
to bake brownies,
but I also don't know
why I was awake
at 5:45 A.M.,
lying in bed like
I just pulled the covers
six hours ago and nothing happened
between then and now,
if not to get up and make
something I could thank myself for
when I got home from work later with
a massive appetite for mediocre sex and
sugar coated, fingertip sucking,
I am glad no one is here to see this,
regret laced,
peaceful like
an empty inbox on Tuesday
sleep.
