Haiku for You – February 13 – Waiting for the Click

My transformation,
each morning, coffee, waiting …
that click in my head

BIG DADDY: Did you say click?
BRICK: Yes, click.
BIG DADDY: What click?
BRICK: A click that I get in my head that makes me peaceful.
BIG DADDY: I sure in hell don’t know what you’re talking about, but it disturbs me.
BRICK: It’s just a mechanical thing.
BIG DADDY: What is a mechanical thing?
BRICK: This click that I get in my head that makes me peaceful. I got to drink till I get it. It’s just a mechanical thing, something like a — like a — like a —
BIG DADDY: Like a–
BRICK: Switch clicking off in my head, turning the hot light off and the cool night on and — all of a sudden there’s — peace!
