These Days


I tried to sleep 'til 10 but
when I did get up,
it was only 8:30.
Boiled some water,
poured a bowl of Cheerios,
poured the water into a cup
containing a guessed at amount
of instant coffee,
poured milk on the Cheerios,
and put sugar on that.

While I was eating,
I was visited by
the ghost of breakfast past.
