you wake up
stretch and listen to the muffled taps
as your sock-padded feet scamper
to the kitchen

a cup of coffee would do you well
you start to heat your water and tap
your coffee maker to the correct setting

you head for the fridge to splash cream in your caffeine
only to realize that it has rotted and expired

you take a glance at the calendar
february 15th
startled, you drop your cup of coffee
glass shatters beneath your feet

you let out a short exhale you didn't realize you'd held in
how long have i been asleep?
