Chap stick

Lying in bed

I smiled

And split

My chapped

Upper lip

So I rolled over

And pulled out

The drawer

In the nightstand

My eyes scanned

Still sleepy

The pills

The ear plugs

The cough drops

And then

The chap stick

On the far side

Of the drawer

And I thought

To myself

At least

I can see

What I’m looking for

And now

All I have to do

Is reach
