The 10pm Goodnight

This morning I got halfway to work before realizing I had forgotten to brush my teeth. I chewed a lot of gum today. At the desks around me, the coughing and sneezing and hacking borders on criminal. Traffic's been light, I guess most of the inhabitants of the city are lying around digesting booze and turkey for another few days. My house is a mess. I've been taking a lot of liquids and eating fruit, hoping the diaphanous vapor of my brain will solidify into moving parts once more.
