    ' 5 am at Circle K'



    I went in to Circle K here yesterday morning,
    I got some breakfast burritos, thought about getting some donuts
    but got some coffee with life saver's gummies instead.
    I looked up the newspapers headlines near the doorway
    and it's the same ole same ole Fox News ads
    going in my head.

    The gas station attendant looked to be in a groggy mood,
    so I wanted to elevate his consciousness
    by some small talk and a smile and
    a smart ass remark about the Dallas Cowboy's upcoming season.
    The warmth of the coffee in my hand
    feels good this time of the day, I got a few hours
    of sleep thank god, that's more than enough
    for my insomniac self and I thought of looking
    at my Facebook page just now and looking at
    some random entertaining BS on one
    of my good friend's fishing trips in South Padre Island.

    As I went outside, ' this would be a good time
    to squeeze in a jogging work out' I said to myself.
    The weather is just right and the wind is blowing
    smoothly in the bliss of the night, why not
    express myself?

    I drove back home to the sounds of
    vintage classic rock while sipping
    my coffee in the expressway, cruising
    at a cool 50 mph.
