Time To Face The Day Once More

I woke up at seven o three.
The patio walls were glowing orange
through the green slats of our blinds.

The little throw rug uncurled a bit
and the patio swing began to sway.

My thongs shuffled impatiently
as if to beg me for a walk.

The tile not yet installed 
seem to be projected phantom-like upon the floor.

The Mexican table and chairs
were whispering in Spanish
and the little golden lion on my pillbox
let out a muffled roar.

I knew it was time to face the day, Once more!
