Wednesday - Gulls
Aug. 17th, 2005 10:31 amThe seagulls in the morning are making my world even more surreal than usual.
Who would make an alarm clock with seagull sounds? Who, but my husband, would buy one?
Now, in my dreams, I have to bring a bag of breadcrumbs to keep the little bastards happy, lest they swoop in and buzz by my head.
I have never woke up on a beach. I have not slept in a beach house since I was 9 years old. I can't even remember the last time I saw the ocean.
But that alarm clock makes me forget these things, and every morning in that twilight sleep, that's where I am. Until I finally get out of bed and turn on the light, sending the electronic seagulls flying into the nothingness of thin air.
