this morning #2215.

this morning, through half-shut eyes, i gripped the railing tight & slowly made my way downstairs. the house was quiet. the kitchen was empty. odd for this hour. maybe they’re still asleep? perhaps they’ve already gone out. either way, it looks like i’ll have to wait for someone to drive me to the market. i guess it’s ok. my shopping can wait. i put on a pot of coffee & went over to the window to survey the early morning backyard. assumed i’d see a basic scene. nature waking up. chirping birds & such. instead, i bore witness to a puzzling picture. out here in the country, we don’t usually see zebra. in fact, i can’t recall seeing one in my entire life, not even at a zoo. i’m here to tell you that they’re majestic as hell even when they’re just standing around snacking on grass.
