Awake gap why

A colon seems the most obvious answer
Awake: why
An ellipsis could do a trick
Awake... why
But it wouldn't be the trick
Or the ticket, or the parthenon,
or whatever, just wouldn't be perfect:
the ellipsis would be... too dramatic.
Awake semi-colon why
is unfamiliar and captures the
disconnectedness, but not the
mundane familiarity of when
consciousness resumes each morning,
the same room, which is the same office.
Awake hyphen why or is it awake dash why,
ah, there's a degree of canny uncertainty,
and you know what, it's between that
and the colon - I can't decide.

The birds are chirping wild for the unreleaseds,
and that pigeon that only I can see, peeking round
an invalid chimney
wants an ID in the chat.

There's no smoking area
in fact, it's technically 11am
(as technically as it can ever be 11am)

calls for...
replies, reptiles
chirps and lols
shouts and flames
avatars of unknown retro anime characters in fluorescent bike helmets -
it's all in the chat, where
there is more than one Matt H -
and, it turns out there is such a thing as
too much banana bread
[extremely stately] and you're it!

Having held off on the jungle until now,
when it pops off
and the prompt to Reconnect appears,
it begs the question:
Have I been looking at the static clouds for too long
or are they actually gifs?

Skeleton of a poem / On not knowing how to interpret the close of your last email

Am I free, or am
I cut adrift - or is
It not worth wasting poetry on these
These feelings? Maybe if
I only thought things through once, like
Like normal people
probably do,
Then,
maybe,
Maybe I could get
over,
                        get
over
