Mornings like any other are so dull. Who pays attention to them? Not me. The mornings I refer to are the ones where I have a deadline from the time my alarm blares static music from an untuned station to the time I run for the bus. Work mornings, actually. They are the times, where I'm in auto-pilot. Do I really need to think as I pass down the list of things to do? Slam that damn radio alarm. Stretch out and spend a minute appreciating the cosiness of a crumpled feather quilt as light streams through wooden slats. Sense the hectic business of birdlife already feeding yawning beaks.
Nature seldom sleeps. It drags me out of bed so I can release the accumulated effects of approximately ten coffees when a depressed friend dropped by lastnight for a shoulder to cry on. I can glint through sleepy eyes as I stumble down the hallway, feeling the wall till I arrive there. More contemplation. Acknowledgement that I am no longer snug and cosy and this is the formal start of my day. A slow trickling piss.
In the backyard, my dog is dead. Her stiff corpse lies in the sand. Over her head is a bulb shaped container. I flush the toilet, not realising her body rests on the other side of the wall. Like I said, these sorts of mornings are dull and only happen so I can get ready for work at a low key level.
