Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie

Waking up is everything.

Cartesian diver, sceptical of the father,

I bob up through the bedclothes

To the always-shocking surface.

Back into my territory

Of fear and relief.

Get up, dress up, go to work,

Make yourself useful,

Clean.

Out into the chaos and control,

Exchanging yourself for the world,

On credit.
