I woke up this morning and drank so much coffee from an aluminum mug while sitting by the window from where where I could hear bird songs, from where I smell the midwestern springtime like I did from my grandmother's midcentury ranch in Cadott, Wisconsin, where when I was a small child I could look out and see nothing but clotheslines, rusted metal husks of cars, corn stalks for miles, and I would hear the train go by in the dead of the night, bringing the warm weather with it.
This morning I read the last forty pages of Nausea by Sartre (the best part of the book imo, the hilltop passage was so incredible), and I sat down to write my heart out for thirty minutes. Another wonderful morning in Chicago and the future is real and viable and most of all, worth discovering!
Gooood morning.

i am taking back my day by morning.
i want to see people, hear people, smell the coffee being brewed. i don’t wish to interact.
i walk with no purpose, undazed, lost in the agredious hour of cold. i am a victor of escaping my canopy - my bedsheets, my boredom. the internet awaits me. my mind humbles me.
i have to work today even though i don’t want to. i long for my journal and a cold covered novel. i think of kafka, i dream of bukowski. i scrub the shower, i bask in a pastry, i weep with dried lips.
i am vigilent. i hear the crack of ice under my feet. i push my brown boots forward. i feel my gloves bundled in my pocket begging to be used. my hands are maroon and moist. my bed is made, hospital corners tucked, back in my abode. i jangle my keys between my fingers then sit mindlessly. lingering for tomorrow already.

i love slow mornings— sipping coffee without hurry, feeling the buzz settle in, watching the clear and blue skies while snuggled in my warmest hoodie.
no deadlines, no stress, just a quiet start, where nothing feels urgent and the morning is mine to enjoy. reading a book, scrolling through articles, crafting, creating something new.
just a morning that’s free, unrushed and for me to enjoy
