Reincarnation

I walk into the bathroom to find the grape scented newspaper has an article with too many run - on sentences. 
I open the door the refrigerator to find a random receipt on the top shelf. 
If I cannot find a channel that refuses to stop mentioning the economic development of a manufacturing plant in Cancun I might as well go back to the grape - scented newspaper. 
Today, I tried talking to my cat as he strangled my parakeet and I silently rooted for the bird to live.
I wake up to a bed drenched in my sweat, and I believe it may have been in part due to being excited at the prospect that this was reality.
