The Middle Ages
By cadymae
I'll see you your candy pink sateen
and raise you my grey-flannel
hoodie
We both dressed wrong
I'll be warm going home alone
You'll have your White-Dinner-Coat-Man
to keep you warm
We both could wake up vaguely envious
of the other,
you of my solitude,
me of your mussed sheets
Yet we both s t r e t c h
in our glad morning assurance
of simply waking up
ourselves

A celebration of life lived just being yourself. Another classic piece.

Nice observation. I was trying to get the actual layout to match the expansiveness I felt.

Reminds me of about ten years ago waking up young and full of life after partying all night. Those were the days.
