Gravel Before Twelve

On rough mornings metaphors fail.
On rough mornings CAPS LOCK.
On rough mornings see red.
On rough mornings' ramparts.
On rough mornings' fragmentation.
On rough mornings, possession.
On rough mornings I won't say me.
On rough mornings coffee makes it worse.
On rough mornings there is no plan.
On rough mornings there is no weather.
On rough mornings there is no heat.
On rough mornings there is smog, smoke, smarm. 
On rough mornings there is afternoon.
