How to tell a story

Morning

In the dark still morning
awake, stretching in bed
like Sketch on the sofa
shaking my mind into thought
preparing to face the day

I realize the hours go downhill
from here, that the serenity of
sleep and unremembered dreams
has ended, replaced by daydreams
and demons that stir the mind
into restless brooding, which won't
end until sleep again returns
and brings tranquility.

Socrates said the unexamined life
is not worth living but he never
added that the examined life was.
