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...

    This made me smile:

    A sign on the wall screams,
    “TAKE YOUR MEDS!”
