Forty One Year Old Stay At Home Dad

There is awake 

There is asleep

There is whatever you call the 

Five or ten minutes

A six year old can spend

Still on the bed

Five minutes after verbally acknowledging both

Morning and

Dad

With one leg hanging out and

Only the top of his head peeking out from under the covers

Muttering 

In the dark

In an increasingly whiny tone and 

Then

If you extrapolate that over the course of an entire day

You have 

The state where I now dwell
