Waking up way before the light, moving on in early dawn. A temporary scent a flashback to a brief but intense moment in time ages ago. Crossing paths with early city dwellers: Hedgehog, raccoon, fox. Observing the world left and right of the chosen route, a random habit to notice changes since passing through here weeks ago. Parking garage and its ever-same neon mood reflecting in puddles of dirty water. The sound of hidden machinery, an elevator on its way up. Kitchen conversations, reconnecting. Close to 8am suddenly and the day still getting started.
