The Birthday Plan
For "Sensational II"...Electric Boogaloo?
Note: Yeah, it's my birthday...
- K. D.

From the alarm's demand, I rise to Supertramp's Goodbye to a Stranger.
The screen light hits my eyes hard in the dark of this early start.
The cold smells raw and ready to make me step to the pace.
I taste the experience of my day ahead...
...the road feels and waits for the touch.
