Random images swirling in my head
I’m on a train, going nowhere
The track has weird curves
I don’t know how we are staying on course
The conductor’s steady hand keeps us on track
Suddenly, I hear strange tones
Foreign, yet vaguely familiar…
The conductor looks at me as if it’s time for me to do something
I’m not sure what
The tones get louder
Finally, I roll out of the train and stumble across the soft, cushy carpet
Hello alarm clock
Grogginess
Yawn
I rub my eyes
I stumble into the bathroom and flip the switch
Dizziness and confusion flood my senses
Hello light
Time passes
The shower calls my name
“Come to me… let me introduce your day with my warm embrace.”
I am haplessly caught in its trance
It becons for me again and I am drawn to it
I open the doors and reach for the faucet
Far above, the shower watches me in silence
I turn the knob
A blast of cold water assaults the head of yet another weary victim
Hello shower
