The way it is.

God?
Yes...
You there?
Always.
God, I've been meaning to ask: What were you thinking?
What do you mean "What was I thinking?"
What were you thinking when you changed us elderly people's sleeping patterns around?
We're miserable!
Miserable? How?
We wake up at (excuse the expression) "Godawful times"!
And?
Well, we're MISERABLE!
I heard you the first time you whined.....Is this your biggest problem?
As a matter of fact, it is! We sleep for two, three, four, if we're lucky, and then, BOOM!!
Two, three, four WHAT?
HOURS! We just can't sleep any longer like we used to... We wake up and there's nothing to do.... We wait to see if we'll fall back to sleep, but nothing happens...we are awake and we are alone....
Oh, come now.....is that all?...You have Books...TV..... You can raid the refrigerator...heat up some milk....I don't care if you spike your milk, if that pleases you!
And you can nap in the daytime.
You don't understand...You're not listening to me!
Oh, but I am.....You're old......you can be happy or you can fight it...but you are never alone.
And I am with you....always.
