BLUE~Unexpected

Two hundred steps down the street

I wave hello to the neighbor

Five steps up the stairs

The familiar creak of the door greets me

I turn around and set my newspaper down

In the same place as always

My oven goes off right on time

The supper is well done and warm as always

I sit down and eat my meal

The news is on, not one minute too early 

I watch my show

Drinking coffee from an everyday mug

I walk to bed 

Turn on the light 

And fall asleep

It wasn't two hundred steps today

The neighbor wasn't there

The steps were broke

My newspaper is a day late

The door is not squeaky

Supper is burning in the oven

My television is out

The coffee machine is broken 

My bed seems to be missing

The lights will not turn off

And the clocks seems to keep ringing in my head
