HIDING FROM BILL

In the morning from bed
I hear his snores transition to grunts
and then the music comes on,
Jack Johnson or something at top volume.
Bill is singing along, stomping, dancing,
falling, chortling, yelling,
switching songs in the middle,
turning the volume up,
going back again,
breaking every rule in the book.
I stay in bed til noon
with the cat curled kitty-corner
from me, alone as we can get.
When I finally emerge
Bill catches me on the stairs with a question:

tomorrow morning can you please keep the music down?
