Coated

She wakes up and she gets high. She gets high before she says hi. I don't know what she's like the moment her eyes open. I've never looked over and seen them anything but bloodshot.

I have asked her about dreams. How she slept. What her day is shaping up to be. I have asked these questions and seen her get up, go to her spot, and get high before she says a word. She is talkative, but her words are coated.

She reciprocates, and I'll tell her what she told me, how I slept, my shopping list. And she sits there, listening, I think. Her eyes are glazed over, but with drugs or indifference I am not sure.

We are happy together and we do not fight. Not like we used to. For that, I suppose, I should be thankful.
