head shaken

morning bell sounds
tired monk rises
flicks routine switches

pauses

shakes his foggy head
clearing it out
gathering for the day

  18. Enjoying these. I used drink coffee before the doctor took it away. Now I try to drink more tea. It doesn't do the same thing, so I just need more stiff taps from the keisaku.
