Forgotten time

i left for work early this morning.
the alarm sounded, and i promptly put a put of water on the stove.
i washed my face and found clothes to wear.
i cleaned a bit: beer bottles here and pizza boxes there.
the water was boiling and i prepared my mug for tea.
as it brewed, i readied my bag and changed the clocks for daylight savings.
by then, i had to get my shoes and head out the door, only sipping my tea once: it was too hot and late.
i unlocked the front door, looked back and say bye to the cat.
i'm at work, and the tea still steeping.
steam billowing above, the ghost of a morning missed.
