I am a night owl
Or the tired afternoon seagull
but definitely not the robin of the morning.
I like to sleep
and when I can not
I get grumpy.
Even the elixir of life for those who need it
no longer helps.
Coffee,
my once dear love
is now merely the chosen beverage of the morn.
Sometimes,
Just sometimes,
I awake and actually enjoy the rising sun.
Sometimes,
but most times
I do not.
