Chirp
Chirp
One chirp
4 am
Between sleep and consciousness
Two chirps
Reality is waking up, so am I
Three, four, five…
Between consciousness and reality,
Anything is possible, yet
Crossing into the dawn
Between want and reality
The day is here
Six, seven, eight….
The undeniable reality,
Embrace it, thank it, hate it, but don’t deny it
Nine, ten…
Go.
