in New York
You wake up in the morning
Still sleepy from the previous night
Your mind yawns
Your heart awakes
Your thoughts drift away from
Your dream
As you slip out of bed
Leaving the warm blanket behind
Your pillow looks at you
Smiling
It teases you to come back
Sink into it and sleep
You blink a few times
No
You're going to get up
And start the day
Your legs move
Slow and weak
Your eyelids droop
Begging to close
You put in your breakfast
Some misses the bowl
You clean it up
But end up doing the same with the milk
The food crunches in your mouth
You barely notice
Staring at your food
It's finished
Tossing your trash away
You sit on the couch
Trying to stay awake
Your body is still tired
Your legs sink in
Your arms next
Then your back
It feels so good
You decide to lie down
On the couch
It's so comforting
So soft
Your mind settles
Your heart beats sweetly
You feel content
And still sleepy
Your eyes close
Just for a second
And before you know it
You're asleep
