Barely had light fill the room
my mother was purposefully clanking in the kitchen
"Corey you can come to knead the bread"
without unshuttering my eyes I asked was the yeast frothy?
"No, but we can make the beds and you can check if there are eggs in the coop while we wait."
Or I could roll over and sleep a few more minutes was my thought.
The difference between a get-up and go person and someone like me is five minutes or so.
I went for a walk while the sweetbread rose twice.
Chocolate chip cookies baked, sweetbread rolls made, five-miles walked, eggs collected,
garden watered, beds made, dishes done… by nine a.m.
Not even the brocante gets me doing all that by nine a.m.
