This morning
at 7:45
all I wanted
was a cup
for my drug
of choice
to get me
fully awake.
I opened
the door
stepped into
the kitchen
and something
on the floor
something in
Pern’s bowl
something there
caught my eye.
Little legs
slightly moving
making not
a squeak
the mouse
floated
awaiting its
rescue
but not
by me
Prompt: About the morning or
takes place during the morning
