mornings


i get up
 at
 the
 butt crack of dawn

 really

 every morning
 i drag myself out of bed
 to feed two cats
 whose cries
 start almost 2 hours earlier

 you'd think
 they hadnt eaten 
in days 
rather
than
only
8 hours before

that 
photo
 was taken 
yesterday morning
as
 i came out of the subway
after 
i trudged up
 all
 those 
stairs

i decided
 it was pointless
 to use the escalator
 its running
 now
 but 
it will surely break down
 forcing
 me 
to
 reacclamate

 it took me months
 to develop
 the stamina
 to climb that 
mountain
i can't do it again

anyway
that photo
 and
 the one over 
on
 through my eyes
 are 
both
 straight 
from
 the ios 7 procamera app
 no filter
 no editing
 no topaz labs effects


so
 far
 its 
the only upside
 to
 the dark mornings

oh spring please hurry
(edited because really i know how to spell hurry gah)
