Staring Up

I'm afraid this view is much more interesting if your alarm goes off early in the morning and you groggily turn on the light and stare up at the ceiling wishing you could just stay in bed. In that situation you can see all sorts of interesting things about the angles and the shadows that might keep you staring at it for awhile.

For the rest of you, probably not so much. 

But, of course, there's a poem for everything...

          The Ceiling, by Theodore Roethke

          Suppose the ceiling went Outside
          And then caught Cold and Up and Died?
          The only Thing we'd have for Proof
          That he was Gone, would be the Roof;
          I Think it would be Most Revealing
          To find out how the Ceiling's Feeling.

Didn't think the day was that tiring until I got home late. Then I felt mentally drained and just wolfed down fried chicken and donut holes with a vacant stare. Gonna have to watch that.
