To My Roommate

Here’s a toast
To these mornings of hot sunrise against iced skies
To my snoozing in bed
To your padding feet on floorboards
Silent
As you try not to wake me
But sleep rejects me, tosses me out of bed
So we get ready
Like a dance across our dorm
Me as slow-paced as you are fleet footed
And out we go
For a cup of coffee
A toast to these mornings
When I have you.
