1. mornings are an estranged occurrence of crisp air, sparrow song and the wafting scent of fresh roasted coffee. the first light is ebullient, honest and pure. cockcrow's ambrosial chirp: full of hope, fruitfulness, and ambition. I am rarely up in time to meet the dawn, but am often still up to bid the sunup farewell as I wish for sweet dreams. infrequent freak instances allow for my intrusion upon daybreak (i.e. traffic court, rude awakening, or insomnia) and I always feel like I'm crashing someone's party. I'm a fish out of water amongst the early birds. my presence cacophanous in aurora's symphony. my aura emanating the stench of a nightstalker's crepuscular regurgitate. my poise loud with the pounding thud-bang of clubland, the hangovers anthem.

2. starting after the bar doors close to the unprivileged many (those who aren't permitted to stay and drink after-hours), two am this sunday, the clock's fat finger falls back with intent to feign extra sunlight. big brother's favor to diurnal subscribers. a minor speed bump in circadian rhythms, but human bodied worker bees get an extra hour to chime in on capitalism's mellifluous production, and the night owls score a false fifteen degrees of equatorial coordinate system fun-time. daylight savings is a sip of infinity on credit. father time: oh great linear minded indian giver, divider of eternity! sir chronos: master mincer of moment! 

what are YOU gonna do with this sixty-minute tease of time lapse... before THEY take it back?

    I really have fun reading your stuff. I love the piece on Joel Hendricks site. Love to chat some time. You can find some of my stuff on Joel’s, or visit me on myspace–I’m not on fb anymore, I just need to spend more time at other things. My main project is a film called: “Vignette,” and I need creative people for collaboration in all areas.

  2. I wish I could write like you as Margaret Laurence once said “When I say “work” I only mean writing. Everything else is just odd jobs.”
