Thick-skinned chameleon

Climbs the curtains hanging on the wall;

The only living ghost to grace the hall.

Meanwhile on the battlefield,

Another soldier boldly bites his tongue;

The only noble thing he's ever done.

Step one: wake up,

Now open your eyes,

Now float to the window,

Open the blinds,

Now nevermind

The cold shiver on your over-exposed spine

Still lying on the bed where you left it,

Soaking up the sleep from the mattress.

And that's it;

Feel your way to the kitchen,

Bring the milk to a simmer,

Spill the sugar on the surface of the counter,

Thin-skinned calcium sipper
