Monday Morning Thoughts For Breakfast

I drink my coffee in the morning with the rain spouting here or there and the cool air sneaking into my truck somehow (it is an old truck you know) and I watch the cars go by me and the people in the busied streets off to work and what have you. I think good thoughts about people that make me think them and I think that maybe today I will have the patience to quit smoking and go to the supermarket and buy better foods and maybe even have a go at a jog in the evening when the day's work is done but then I think maybe not, it is monday and maybe I am aiming too high again and these are just thoughts that come with the change of weather but they are really lovely thoughts all the same so I continue this big spin and wait for the work to come and for the coffee to kick in. The washing machine is sounding behind me like a thunderstorm (it is an old washing machine you know) and its spinning round and round my clothes in cool water and I can't help what it was like before we had washing machines and how technology might have been better not so rushed and that if we have come so very far with it in such a short time that perhaps all that time we cut away was only to bring us here waiting about our doom that is soon to come from all this technology and everything and it makes me say that I wish I could have washed my clothes by hand now instead of all this excess. No matter, its only Monday and I sit here with a fresh cup of coffee and I listen to music and I love it because it requires very little of anything on its own except good things like talent passion love and understanding and so I am listening to dream a little dream of me and it makes me feel fine any time of day with a sound that is unlike the music that is current (it is an old song, you know) and I feel fine and the coffee warms me and the music loves me because I love it back. Monday thoughts, like how nothing really surprises us anymore as people and anything created these days for the greater population of man is too complicated to understand and that no cause these days seems very admirable or if it is I know nothing about it and I'm sure most people don't either which makes me sad. It makes me wonder in the coming years what team I should be playing for or what I should be doing with myself to stay out of trouble with others and yet still abide by my own morals and rules about life and me and everything else but then again these are just silly Monday thoughts that never go anywhere and are far gone by Tuesday's wake and so I'll wrap this up and simply step outside and smoke a cigarette against my better judgement (it is an old habit, you know) and try to think of good things again and work well and sleep well and maybe we'll talk soon and maybe we won't. Maybe we never talk.
