Welcome to the first day of the 2025 Slice of Life Writing Challenge, where bloggers post each day of the month. You can find the home page with links to blogs across the world here. I’m writing about things that happen in time increments this year, described in yesterday’s post.

I smack snooze a time or two
reluctantly rise
feel the sweat of the night

cream bar that
heightens all senses
awakens all sense
our nation needs this orange
not the other
