fix yourself

You greet every day with a fresh start, fix
your messed up hair, your face
fix yourself some bite
to eat (of course
it's to eat)
(would you fix yourself
bites to spit out? You
would not) and a thing
of juice, or something hot
or cold and fizzy, and then

you get out of bed
you're a miracle before
you even begin

and then
you do it all again,
for real this time. Some times
fresh from sleep, you have
to lay things out in your
mind. Before it's for real
you decide what you'll find
because it's for keeps.
