Familiarity

The blessing of morning routine
water, soap, razor, towel, paste.

Each morning you wake up
a slightly different person.

Not significantly.

But dreams
and the sleep time
rearrange the patterns
inside your head.

So what you see
in the mirror is
almost you,
and three percent stranger.

It takes the comfort
of routine
to fit yourself back
into total familiarity.
