early work this morning. is always so hard to get up in the mornings. i stare at the clock. glowing red in the semi darkness of early morning. already awake and aware when the alarm sounds. knowing when it would go off, but not expecting its sudden cacaphony in the silence. flinching. leaping from the bed to turn it off. can't stay away from the still warm niche i've created in the mattress. the house still. have to get up soon. take a shower. wash away the grogginess with hot water on my back. soap in my mussed hair. hands scrubbing at the pillow marks on my cheeks. just another day at the cracker. customer service. smiling when i don't want to be. teeth flashing when confronted with a surly patron. but eyes narrowed and voice sarcastic, cutting. if only you could hear what i was thinking. how i want to put you in your place. cut your ego off at the knees and make your eyes bulge when i startle you. small frame and smoothe cheeks belying my sharp tongue. and the violent thoughts running across the front of my mind like a giant neon marquis...distracting me from the business of just getting you out of my fucking sight...here's your change you bastard. have a good night now. i have both your credit card number and your address....
