I did not wake up intending to kill anything —
except maybe the alarm clock
with sheer resentment.

Breakfast appeared in the form of a kipper,
which kicked my senses fully awake
before my brain had signed in.

One bite in,
and the day delivered a kick —
salty, smoky, unexpected,
and impossible to ignore.

No violence required.
No drama necessary.
Just the realisation that mornings
often attack first
and ask questions later.

Still, I survived.
The kipper didn’t.
And the alarm clock lives…
for now 😄☕🐟
