the man who went up a hill and came down the english patient

ok, so i'm not superstitious - really not... well, except for one slight and completely irrational phobia.

which, in the here and now, means that when

after another night without sleep but (so i was beginning to believe) productive nonetheless since it produced a great mass of words for my current scribbling project and, despite my minor injuries, (i fell off a hill) feeling the reckless burst of a second wind (or maybe just the coffee finally kicking in)

i swagger into the kitchen and yank back the curtains to say "hello world!" and find a great guffawing and very much SINGLE magpie dancing on the grass outside.- i wish for a pistol, reach for the curtains and fight the very, very strong urge to give up and go back to bed. bastard, BASTARD birds. 

magpies, insomnia, i give up
