Don't We All...

A pre-dawn chill runs up my spine

as the black and white cat meows at the door.

Another yawn hisses out of my wide-stretched jaws.

Too early,

and a little too late.

Too late to change,

meaningfully at least.

A sign on the wall screams,

“TAKE YOUR MEDS!”

Next to a poster that begs,

“I Want To Believe,”

Don’t we all...
