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.
