Still Life – Friday Morning 7:01 am
I need another cup of coffee. I will need another cup of coffee after that. I will loop on “another cup of coffee” until I drain the big green Stanley thermos..
If level of consciousness is still below minimum function – assume so – will wearily trudge down the stairs from my office to the workshop, feed George, then shuffle out of the barn and across the yard back to the house and start another pot of coffee.
Load the thermos and reverse the steps back across the yard. Stop to pull weeds or pick up a stick.
Enter workshop. Feed George. Marcy is yowling. Grab something to feed her. Stumble up the steep flight of stairs to office. Guinea pigs see an opening and start chirping for food. Having a carrot in back pocket, I break it in two and feed them. Go over to Lenny the superannuated box turtle’s enclosure, and give him a morsel of Marcy’s food and then finally feed Marcy and sit down and pour another cup of coffee.
Rinse, repeat.
None of the Above, Take 2.5
PS there is a link in the title above to another take of this song that ends somewhat less precipitously for those who were unsettled by the version above. If that doesn’t work, then, well, check None of the Above…
