I am waking in my dream and were nothing is what it seems
Everything is quiet at first, then I hear, my eyes are open but I can’t see
Voices become clearer from the room next to me
I am a little confused and disoriented, where am I?
Then it hits me...I am AWAKE! Oh hell and I am still in Iraq!
Me dream quickly fades away and I already forgot what it is about
I inhale, exhale, close my eyes already attempting to drown out
the voices
Decisions decisions...do I work out now or later?
Later...definitely later.
Walking to breakfast? Nope, I will eat cereal!
Five more minutes I need five more minutes...but I have to pee.
I sigh, pull myself up, slip on my Crocs and open the door and close my eyes
I am not ready for the sun yet, my eyes are slits as I stumble to the bathroom
Praying all the way that I do not run into the darn T-Walls or Hesco Berries as Brownie would say...dang I miss Brownie
I finally make it to the latrine...for you humans that is code for “bathroom”
For over 200 days now I have urinated standing up
Some bitches are nasty
I am still not fully awake and at 0600 it is already approaching 100 degrees
About 25 percent of the energy I do not even have yet is depleted
The sun took it and ran away
I wash my hands, I FINALLY open my eyes look at myself Smile and say
“Hello luuvaah, let’s make this money, Momma want’s a new Gucci bag!”
