Open my eyes
groan
stretch..
lay in bed.. stare at the ceiling
breathe
your mind buzzing with every thought in the universe.. what to do today??
the smell of freshly brewed coffee fills the room
time to get up
walk to the dresser
look in the mirror
remove dried tears
pale skin
nappy hair
black heads
groan
walk to the bathroom
stare blankly
grab tooth brush
toothpaste
*brush brush, swish swash
Spit
get dressed
*time for work.. blehhk
slide down stairs
drink some orange juice
head for the door
*lock
walk towards car
glimpse around
a boy walking to school
a dog doing business
*fuck it's cold, I shoulda worn my jacket
inside the car
turn key in the ignition
wait for the car to warm up
time to go
green light
turn right
traffic... *sigh
mind buzzing buzzing
traffic noise
baby screaming
woman lighting up
man jingles asking for change
I stare briefly at the sky
hint of sunlight, clouds of grey, sky still blue
arrive to work...
park..
lock my car
walk inside
punch in..
*good morning
fakes a smile*
sit at desk
file, file, file
customers.. take money, make charges.
file, file, file
time to punch out
lunch time
time to punch in
walk into the office
stare bluntly outside
more customers.. take money, make charges.
Balance cash..
time to go
punch out
walk towards car
turn key in ignition
take off
*traffic
city lights
night sky
arrive home
park
smell of fall leaves and wet cement
walk inside
clean up mess
cook dinner
walk upstairs
take a warm shower
change
time for bed
flip through channels
fall asleep
Next Day
Routine
