still in pajamas— hair wild, drinking coffee

In Spanish 

yo means I, 

 

and tu 

is a you 

I know 

 

or at least 

am comfortable 

addressing casually. 

 

In English 

we have no 

informal form 

 

to indicate 

the you 

still in pajamas— 

hair wild, 

drinking coffee. 

 

Intimacy, friendship, 

easy access— 

 

in English 

the informal you 

is "Yo."
