First, he climbs out of the cave that is
also known as his bed to reach the alarming
sounds piercing his ears. It’s time to get
ready. He’ll stumble out of bed half-asleep
and scrambles to make an iced coffee.

Next, he will throw on whatever clothes
that were previously ironed. Although he
knows they’ll be wrinkled when he pulls into 
the parking garage in the city. Of course, he
still won’t feel awake and buys overpriced coffee.

Finally, he’ll step into his cubicle and wonder
both what to do and where all the time goes by
when the clock strikes five. It’ll be late by the time
he gets back home and he’ll be tired. It’ll be too
late to do anything meaningful. He’ll fall asleep.
