Can I describe a good morning in 10 minutes? (As this is about how much I have before I will run out of the house and to the train and so on?)
There were tiny things that made the morning good, I think? Maybe it was the peppers on my surprise pepper plant turning into a decisive red maybe? Perhaps it was the hopeful survival of one of the avocado plants which I cut far to close to the ground? (Can plants utter curses? Maybe this one actually should, because what the hell was I thinking?)
Maybe it was the shadow of the black squirrel in the branches just outside of my living room window? Maybe it was the light from the sun hitting the walls just right? Or maybe the relieved chirping of three sparrow families living with me above my windows because of my turning off of the air conditioner? (Will they be angry with me if it turns on around 9PM again tonight?)
Perhaps I was happy to discover that my airconditioner does no longer drip onto my neighbour's windows, but somewhere into the proximity of a blooming flower box?
Could the happiness stem from the fact that I was able to just say hello to the dry cleaning lady, dropping off the many wire hangers she will be able to reuse for my endless stream of used to be clean blue shirts? Was it the lucky coincidence that the 2nd Street Café opened just the minute I came by with the new paper under my arm? I could have also been in a good mood because the waiter had some good ideas as to what he liked to have for breakfast and what I might equally enjoy? Or, because he was dead on? Or because the paper had some really good news on the cover, of people actually surviving a plane crash and such? Or because there were interesting news in the arts section as well, of Barry McGee and Swoon showing at Deitch? Or because the coffee hit the right spot?...
Or was it the Russian news on the radio at the laundry place that was overwhelmed by the disturbances from the washing machines which made the transmission sound as if it were announcing the return of the bolshevik army to the aurora destroyer just in the harbor outside of new st.brooklynburg?
Or maybe none of the above?...
Maybe I am out of time, but today will be a great today? Can I say so?
What else? Who Else? where Else?
10 minutes and less than 30 morning questions... (And yes, some are just sentences with a question mark, but is that really so bad? It is at least an attempt... okay? (And I am now seriously running out of time because of that.)

that st. brooklynburg bit was fantastic :)
hope the day turned out well?
There's a Brazilian song that says: "you have half an hour to change my life". So it's possible to describe a good morning in 10 minutes. Your post prove that. Interesting morning questions. I will come back here to read other texts more carefully.
