it’s rainy this morning,
the grey & somber kind of rainy
big heavy drops cling desperately to the window screen. 
i’ve already decided on the perfect album to cook to today -
reconstruction site (the weakerthans). 
rainy mornings call for warm, hearty breakfasts -
oatmeal is perhaps the definition of a warm & hearty breakfast
however grey & somber mornings call for comfort
& comfort means butter, 
some sugar & perhaps warm syrup
