hi, mike,
i awake this morning, the cat snoozing and purring on my legs.
i lay there, unhurried, knowing that there is nothing i have
to do today that i don't want to do, no task or work required
by anyone else, just my own leisurely pursuits. i get up and
throw open the shades, watching the early morning sun burn away
the mist of night and warm the backs of the birds as they begin
their day's chorus. i brew a pot of strong, german coffee and
whip up a batch of fluffy, golden brown pancakes. to the sounds
of children laughing in the street, i open my computer and
retrieve my daily e-mail, eager to see what wonderous insights
and pearls of wisdom my good friends and family choose to
enlighten me with.
a shaking hand, life is dead, a broken heart and a screaming head...
i turn off the computer, pour my coffee down the drain, close the
shades, kill the cat, and climb back into bed.
