The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging
"I see no sign of free will, so I guess I'll have to pay" - Genesis
When I consider the routine of my everyday life, I'm utterly appalled: the stultifying sameness; the surrender to a joyless pattern of deadlines and dead-ends. For fun I try to leave the house with barely enough time to make my train into Boston. Any traffic congestion or other source of delay will mean that I miss it. It's not a huge inconvenience, since there's another one only 18 minutes later. It's this illusion of danger that lends some shred of excitement to a day that's not likely to see any otherwise.
behind schedule
I run for the 7:09
so that I can sleep
