There is a moment
within each week
that suddenly becomes
an uphill battle
first, the alarm
set before the rising sun
the softness of sleep
holding me in place
then, the journey
from solitude and silence
into color and chaos
and voices pitched loud
transitions
usually smooth
automatic
predictable
become a sudden culture shock
in the face of dreams and rest
setting me on a climb
to reach my normal day – Caroline A. Slee
