Fingertips red from the hot cold sting of an overly heated coffeecup. Eyes burning, blinking, wishing they could hold onto a blink for just a second longer without collapsing. Eyelashes tangled and curled from being pressed desperately into pillows. The early bird gets the worm. The early bird gets the same scary yet harmless homeless man asking for change on your way to work. The early bird gets last night’s coffee, grounds and all. The early bird wishes she were sleeping, wishes she had slept at all. The early bird gets the big gross worm.
