Note: Yeah, it's my birthday...

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.

Correct!
