Throbbing to the beat of that song stuck in my head,
that song I danced to with that guy,
that guy with the messy shag of hair,

I stretch and shuffle to the bathroom.

and my hair is shooting at opposing angles.
When I emerge, my yawn is interrupted and my eyes pop awake, splattering sleepy crust.
"Woah, babe, you look like a..."
"Don't say it!"
Ha Ha Ha!
