grey_sky_redux birdmad grey_sky_day revisited today, not the same rainy day beauty as before today patchwork clouds blocking out just enough of the rising sun tomake the first light bearable to anyone facing east, cold morning air and traffic fumes causing me to endure a slight case of puppy-nose, cold and wet. woke up a little late and rushed out just in time, mind is a blank, otherwise there would be mischief to ponder. finding it vaguely funny that the trip to work reminds me in strange ways of mornings on the way to school when i was a kid... Backpack, walkman, homework, bla-bla-bla, yadayadayada. the empty field behind me once an ugly lot that dealt in freight trucks and heavy machinery, now stripped clean, foundations and structures laid waste and only the bare earth, being prepared for some other new building. if i had the money i would buy it just to seed the ground with wildflowers and growing things, maybe lay a couple of paths and some vaguely park-like statuary in the dead center of it, let it be an oasis of life on this grimy street, some color amongst the drab but it won't happen today, i am just another nondescript piece of scenery blowing through te streets like some tatter of paper caught on the wind-drag of the big trucks a drop of water in an endless sea_of_faces i can dream my little dreams to stay afloat 030106 ... farmfish let me know, mad bird, if you need me to send you some seed. that, i have copious amounts of. 030106 ... jinx Let me know you if ever need somebody to walk those paths or water those flowers or love that life.
