An Extra Early Walk

I woke up extra early this morning to go on my morning walk. It was early, not extra extra early, just early. I started my venture down Logic Lane towards High Street. I was trying to get to the Longwall but an unprecedented event happened, gum. It was until this early morning where the sun meets the morning dew that I stepped on my first piece of gum. This gum was not any ordinary piece of gum, it was a chameleon camouflaged between two beautiful bricks, awe, the bricks they’re a masterpiece how they are laid, presented, its as if you were watching a British chef prepare a three-course meal. The sound, the sound of your heel striking the ground of the nice brick path makes my knees tremble, only longing to move forward on the path that many greats have traveled before me, greats that made their own Logic of words and language that has been enjoyed for centuries, savored just as much as the chameleon stuck on my shoe one early, early morning.
