In Process

Wake up.
Turn o! white noise app.
Count on fingers the hours I slept.
Open up email. Delete.
Open up NY Times app.
Swing legs over edge of bed.
In slippered feet turn on co!ee.
Open NPR, BBC, Instagram.
Sip then slurp black co!ee.
“I’m not doing enough.”
My panic rises.
“But am I enough?”
