time
was
i would get up in the morning
by standing straight up with the alarm
and marching down the length of the bed
to the door
and the day
doing
25 pull-ups or so
before
boiling
eggs
but
slats at the bottom of the bed
cracked like knuckles
and
i replaced them with thicker pine
from
out
the
garage
the pull-up bar
is there still
as a memory
and a target
but
i get up now
over
30 mins
or longer
of sluggish mental gymnastics
aborted attempts
fresh resolution
telling
myself
my
reward is coffee
and
a
rest
