and the lights come gradually on, like daybreak only a little accelorated
because i am in a pitiful condition (that liquor problem of mine),
but the first few hours are wonderfully bright and cheerful.

except nobody seems to have time to sit down
it isn’t healthy or normal
and licks all the time at my nerves

the pen is not recovered
now the lights are beginning to darken again
yet this period of time is bound to make a difference
