It takes a while to finish all the morning routines
before opening the curtains, which inevitably marks
the beginning of a new day, but once you accept
that waking up hurts, you can always find some solace
in the opening 4’33”, and then all you have to do
is pass through the bedroom door for another barefoot
pilgrimage to the shoe rack full of pairs of Louis Vuitton,
as genuine as Vermeer’s The Supper at Emmaus,
your favourite.
