    As far as I'm concerned, I should be listening to loud music at the moment and pelting out lyrics at the top of my voice.
    Although for various reasons beyond my control I find myself in a situation where I am unable to do so.
    For I have known them all already, known them all:
    Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
    I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
    I know the voices dying with a dying fall
    Beneath the music from a farther room.

    So how should I presume?

    I should eat, then dress, then brush my teeth.

    I should be gardening now but for some specific reasons I am on the net posting this. Of course today when I have planned to take care of my plants which were neglected for a long time in fact. I should be changing the soils of the vases and manuring them. As the fall is over the plants need more fuels for budding and flowering. I am a lover of plants and I had since my babyhood always loved them but for a variety of reasons, of course one of the reasons is my growing obsessions with books and writing or else I could have been a great gardener. I grew up in close proximity with nature and grew up in an open environment with them but in due course I moved to a new place and with that everything was over. Of course I am now no more in touch with nature and of course nature has of course great effects on what I do in life.

    Therefore had there been everything as I have planned I should have been working in the garden.

    I was sitting in the back looking out at the snow, then I realized I may be the most inefficient employee ever.

    It's a vile language anyway, I resent that I use it every day

    I also resent that I never get any better at it, despite using it every day.
