A Pleasent Surprise

Today came red and caught me off gaurd as I
hadn't slept. No, I hadn't dreamt.
Fingers glide over black and white keys clicking
click clicking. Race the clock project due date.
Manage a shower. Manage routine. Attempting
clear skin I saw only a year ago. I fly
out the door. Fly
down the highway. Fly
up the stairs racing. Printing. Panicing. Fly
into my seat. Time flies by.
My home swallows me back inside.
Bright screen. Curious message. And I smile.
