Chicago 6 AM

My guide dog woke me by licking my nose. Outside it was still night. I fed the dog and imagined all the souls waking up around me, what transitive happiness there could be without radios and tv. Try to picture all the high rise buildings, windows opening, televisions flying out. Silly to think of people restored to living with animals and books. I think we should go back to bed.
