can't smell the leather any more
slide my hand down past the junk
under the false bottom
fingers searching and finding
caught between my fingertips
drag the vial up and out
unscrew the lid
a few dashes onto the glass topped table
lids back on and the vial tucked back in its hiding place
razor blade fished out from behind the purse lining
a 20 out of the wallet
a few swift chops and drags of the blade
bill rolled with absentminded movement
the white lines glowing in the moonlight
completely capturing all attention
dip of the head and drawn out sniffs
upright again, absentmindedly replacing things
other hand absently wiping first nose, then table
the million needles you never get used to
a shake of the head, and back to the computer

get the milk out. ooooo heavy
get the mug. dont spill.
drag the chair from the table over to the coupboards
shhhhhhhhhhh
climb up, first onto the chair, then the counter
hold the cabinet door just right so the noise dosent happen
open the door fast, but not too fast, or it will squeak
stand up on the counter
tippy toes time
reach and strrrrrrrrrrrrrrretch
fingertips reaching all the way back
pinching the bag between 2 fingers and dragging it forward
catch it on the edge of the shelf just right
grab it, and set it down on the counter
sit on the counter
open the bag slooooooowly..
*cringe*
did they hear? quiet for a minute...
no.. still sleeping..
take 2 cookies out, roll the bag shut, just like mommy does
stand and put the cookies back, close the cabinet
climb down carefully... falling hurts
push the chair back to the table slowly
*grin*
time for cookies and milk
Midnight
