He wakes up
the usual time, after a usual night of sleep
with the usual shifts and movements
falling asleep to the usual thoughts
He does
the usual things,
feeds the cats the usual foods
in the usual order
He checks
the usual items,
the temperature outside and in
the forecast
the stock market
the news
the blogs
And he eats
the usual breakfast
drinks the usual coffee
shaves his usual face
dresses in his usual clothes
and embraces his usual self
on a usual day.
