I got up and stepped right into the blue box showing a white "we recycle". It was the box where I usually keep my dirty laundry, which was unusually empty this morning because I had pegged out the last load of yesterday's washing before I went to bed. So it was still there the next morning, right next to my bed, the silly box, just like the half-dry laundry on the clotheshorse.
Or would that be semi-dry? I'm not into wine of any taste early in the morning so I better get back to what happened next. I had bruised my big toe, because of the box being empty and no dirty clothes to absorb the shock. The toe became instantly black, and so did my mood.
I limped into the kitchen in order to help myself to some coffee and, while pooring some water into the kettle, I looked at the big analogue time-piece above the fridge. It took me a while to realise what I saw, and by the time that I understood how late it was I had spilled water all over the kettle, which of course was an electronic one. I swore and dried it instantly with a towel, that got stuck to its switch, and all I could do then was putting it down and leave the kitchen. No coffee, brilliant.
Next thing I opened the bathroom door, I meant to say I tried to open it but I found it locked, and now I even heard someone showering in there. How come I wasn't first, shot into my mind before I could answer the question myself: You're late, that's why.
I took a flannel and washed myself as much as possible at the kitchen sink. Then I got into my clothes and sighed. Anything else this morning?
After packing the stuff I need at work (1.1 stone!), I didn't bother to sit down for breakfast. I desperately needed a bite, though, so I gulped some yoghurt down and spilled a spoonful of it onto my black sweater. I swore again and got changed in a hurry (OMG, what to put on?)
The moment I stepped outside I realised I had forgotten to take my keys, all my keys, the car keys and the keys to the flat, and the latter were not only inside my home, they where inside the door lock. So I had to ring the door bell and get someone out of bed or out of the bathroom, after all.

You see, here you'll find poems of opportunity and seasons. They're mine, though, so I have to protect them.
Welcome! If you are willing to follow the iconian path, you should know that it is always you we are talking to, even if it is not. And that everything is true, even if it is not. We all are eternally united in the last space possible where even the impossible is real. We ought to believe the foretold: If we'll meet tomorrow, next year, or never, it doesn't matter, it's only time! And everything, even time is fiction.
