Large crows keep sweeping through the air past my window. I see them just out of the corner of my eye and always turn too late to catch any real detail, so it actually looks like one of the trees is reaching out with a huge limb and snatching with splintered palms at all the invisibles. It's a good thing I haven't cast any ribbons of my spirit out the window for a wee dance in the breeze, or he's sure to unravel me.
Can you tell I'm tired? I always try to do too much, while at the same time berating myself for being lazy. The strange numb dance is already taking hold, and festival time is still two weeks away. I have too many ideas and not enough quiet time to make them all happen. So many tourists...talk...so..slowly. Speed up! I want to yell. You're missing point! Why, you're all the spitting image of one another! Wouldn't you like to take some time to contemplate the complex web of tunnels and flesh whispers that are running under the surface pulse of this old city? Or shall I just ring through this postcard for you? Stamp? Would you like a stamp? I'm telling you...you're going to need it...
Sigh. I'm going to eat some dinner and try to forget this ever happened.
