242. Autopilot

Some days are the wind's whisper,
the palm frond's rattle,
the morning humidity smell,
the glancing touch of the sun on my forearm,
the way my mouth feels full of foreign words.

Others are days where I reach
to rotate the pan in the oven,
only remembering that it's hot
when the nerves in my fingers
start to scream,
trying desperately to wake me.
