PROMPTuesday #80: Minutiae

PROMPTuesday is Deb's creation, and I have not participated in a shamefully long time. But with this week's topic, I thought, I can do this. I can write about the minutiae of my day. Turns out that would take a very long time, so here are the details of my first few moments this morning.

first minutes

i curl into fetal position
and bury my face in my pillow
like i do every morning,
feeling like how can this be happening
to me
again?
this morning thing?
i'm so tired.
i run through the modeh ani
once or twice in my head
unscrambling the hebrew words
until they match the ones
on the notecard on my side table.
my mind drifts
and i pray about my various dreads
of the day
and then i say the modeh ani aloud.
i really should save the dreads
for second.
or not at all.
