A few of my favorite things (AM commute)

Riding through a cloud, with the atmospheric moisture flecking my glasses and cooling my face -- the alarm clock going off every morning that I can hear for the length of an entire city block -- the soft thick shroud of fog floating over Forest Cemetary -- feeling fasting and tougher than I did yesterday or the day before that -- taking undiscovered winding shortcuts through parks thick with trees and dead with silence -- racing through lights with traffic on the last half-mile -- parking my bike by the door and knowing that I get to do it all over again in eight and a half hours.
