What a Death

sound does not travel in a vacuum, that's why i woke up normally. I took my pill for hypertension and I boiled the coffee that I spilled on the apartment balcony: some meteor cut off a third of the moon! what a morning sky! what colors! the spectacle of hallucinated people running terrified down the street everyone clinging to their cell phones ridiculously looking for salvation and the rain of rocks! and the insane wind with it's letal breath! what a storm! what a death!

I turned my morning ritual into something less prosaic...
