she
yes
whadidshe
she stumbled yes she stumbled out of the bedroom
her hair awry wildchile
it
sleepteased an tossed like salad
she had slept well
she smiled sleepily groggily as
she came up to him kissing him in the hall where he had come to meet her after
rising from his desk from writing checks for bills to wish her goodmorning
she rocked back on her heels from
their kiss embrace
So she grabbed a handful of hair above her
ear
So Do you have any idea wheregetting up on the wrong side of the bed came from
he laughed And good morning too love
then paused No I do not
No you do not
Did you know how
emphatic you sound when you say I do not as to when you say I dont Any doubt
DOUBT

teased

While yer in there make something
up If you dont know
Make something up
Yah If I had asked you where getting up on the
wrong side of the bed came from Make something up
she excused herself and sighed as
she shut the bathroom door behind her
he went up the hall past his
studio into the kitchen to make coffee
the dripmachine was just
beginning to drip hot water into the fresh ground coffee when she joined him in
the kitchen
she had brushed her long black hair
back into a ponytail washed her face
at her hairline small beads of
water brightened catching the sunlight entering through the opened screen
window from just above the shaggy treeline
their big outdoor cat squatted on
the top the plank fence looking in at them
Bigfoot wants his breakfast she
said
Bigfoot has to wait on my morning
process Ive got fresh oranges to squeeze an then Im onto him He has to be patient like me
Patient like you
Yes Of course Im waiting for you to tell me where getting
up on the wrong side of the bed is from

Inseparable So I have to hear whats considered accepted
fiction to your fiction Youre not off the hook Ill listen to what you have to say but you best be compiling your own fiction
for afterwards You can lie to me baby
Well In Roman times
Roman times Nothing more current
Please if you want to know please
dont interrupt me
\
In Roman times it was considered
bad luck to get out of bed on the left side the wrong side It was thought if
you did youd have a bad day Possibly its tied to prejudice
against lefthanded people the Ancients believing being lefthanded being adept with it was a sign of evil
And you realise you get out of bed
every morning on the left hand side
Dont you
What
Think Yer lying in bed yer left is to the bedroom
window yer right to the door and you get out of bed to the window
But thats my side of the bed
It is yer side of the bed Mines the right I get out on the right Ive always gotten out of bed on the right
hand side
Even as a kid When I was in the military In a single bed The right
Id have to cross to your side to get out of bed on the right
Correct It isnt that far to slide or crawl
Id be
happy to have you crawl over me to get out of bed in the morning Youd have to be
naked though
Id have to be naked
I charge toll
Toll
Yes Your left breast has to slide across my left
cheek an face then your right breast to my cheek Slide an pause
I cant imagine any better way to start a day
Youre crazy
Crazy about you
I
really like where this mornings gone
Like the song Its a new dawn its a new day its a new life for me
Like the song Its a new dawn its a new day its a new life for me
