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.
