I begin my activities of daily living
Positioned in a high fowlers
Rubbing the inner and outer canthus
Of my oculo dexter and sinister
The body then compensates for the lack of oxygen
--------------------
At my bedside, still stuporous
The mirror enters my field of vision
My vision is cloudy, ptosis in my eyes
My bowel sounds are hyperactive
Its time to ingest some nutrients
------------------------
After the mastication and deglutition
The carbohydrates increase my blood sugar
Water distends my bladder and I micturate
When my peripheral vision perceives the clock,
With epinephrine in my veins,
I’m going to be late!!
----------------------------
With anxiety and panic,
My depressive mood goes manic
I rush my hygiene and grooming
Tachycardic and diaphoresic
Until I catch my ride
And hope to beat traffic
------------------------
Now at high risk for injury,
As this hataw jeepney comes close to collision
Over and over again
I return to homeostasis
Lethargy overpowers me again
---------------------
Oh by the way, the day is just starting.
