Breakfast

buttered burden
on burnt toast
in stale chilled air

sipped the day
not yet met by
glimpse of sun

hidden in the steam
rising off the cup's
dark surface

waited for the
push of the liquid
and its inoculates

expelled a smoke
that filled my lungs
and seared my body

hidden in the face
of listless and
bloodshot eyes

scanned black
and white and
lines and letters

waited for time
to catch up with
plans not made

hidden in the feet
dwindling with
every passing tick
