Every day the Sun pulls me out of bed

Without the help of a job or lover

The pull of the celestial body

Alone causes me to rise

I should be hunting and gathering

Seeking continued existence

For my genetic and moral code

But I'm not


I've had jobs and lovers before

Plus caffeine fires my synapses awake

To the real and unsentimental

And holy modern world


There is no god or science on mid-winter morning that spur me

Just sociability pulsing me out of bed

The sunlight on my face

Sex and apples on my mind
