Eggs & Fur: Morning Routine…

***
6 am
Cold wet black nose
Resting on my cheek
I don’t need an alarm
Not when you sleep with Lassie
Or in my case, Betsy
***
She wants out
No discussion
I stagger up
Wrap a blanket ’round
My chilly bare skin
Find the door
Then the kitchen door
And she’s gone
***
I slip on my jeans
Open the fridge
Grab the eggs
A clear glass bowl
Break all the eggs
Toss out the shells
The three yellow eyes
Staring up at me
