They’ve fallen asleep again
so I wriggle my toes, trying to rouse them
and they tingle and mingle
pulling sock blankets over
their useless, heavy heads.
'Just five more minutes' they burble.
And I hear sleepy breaths whistling
through the hole in my sole.
It stinks in there but they snuggle.
And I need to get moving
but I just can’t without them.
So I stay rooted, shoes snoring
and smile as the room files out.
