a day in a week in July

"She know she got me dazing
Cuz she was so amazing
And now, my heart is breakin'
But I just keep on sayin'
Baby, baby, baby ohh
Like baby, baby, baby noo
Like baby, baby, baby ohh
Thought you'd always be mine, mine"

the day started out grey and lethargic,
each movement like languidly dragging limbs from
comfortably warm quicksand,
some corner of my sleep-fuzzed brain insisting i need to move,
but the will-power was caught up somewhere in the land of nod.

so i plod...plod...plodded through the necessary paces,
motivation muted somehow by the seductively welcoming thought
of returning to a pile of pillows to sleep the hours away.

pushing these thoughts back, however cumbersome, was worth it.
rain-embraced greenery is nature's own art,
that carved-out concrete cannot conquer,
and the suddeness of being surrounded by magpies
provides a quick, fun thrill of fear, photographs capture the innocent joy
and spontaneity that made the day what it was.

alone again, i laugh at myself, surprised at the ludicrity (no pun intended) of my newfound love.

"and i was like baby, baby, baby oooh"
