Poem, or Chapter Prompts.

[sickle_stories]

It's got some good bits, though the first few lines may need a bit (or a lot) of tweaking. Particularly order-wise, I think.

Fine, thank you, and how are you?
They look confused.
As I awake, an answer.
Who are you today?
A perplexing question.
I know when I awake.
Then after that first cup I change.
Don’t we all.
Give me a moment to think.
They ask again: how are you today?

Variation: Attempt 1

Who are you today?
A perplexing question.
Give me a moment to think.
They look confused.
I explain.
I know the answer when I awake,
but after that first cup, I change.
As do we all.
They ask me again: how are you today?
Fine, thank you, and how are you?
