Describe your day

Describe my day

My day…

My day began with waking I suppose

I don’t remember it clearly the moment I woke up my memory is vague

I know I lay in bed staring at Natalya in the beginning sunlight

And then I remember waking again and she was gone

She snuck out she sometimes does that lets me sleep

And that was the first hour

And then I lay there for an hour doing nothing

stretching my muscles staring at the ceiling staring at the day

And that was the second hour

Then I went to the kitchen we have Bialetti

It’s a… It’s percolator I guess? It makes espresso,

the water is stored in a little tank below and it boils and it

goes up through the coffee grounds and above then there is coffee

I had to clean it out the day before the coffee uh collecrs into a

little patty which I threw out I rinsed it all with warm water,

I filled it with cold water,

I placed the coffee in and patted it down very

tenderly and delicately so the coffee wouldn’t spill over

And I spent so much time on this, on being careful and clean

And I think I put on music maybe a Beethoven

record… or Gordon Lightfoot! First it was Gordon Lightfoot!

My mother used to listen to him,

I know he’s not cool but he brings back a fond feeling and I

waited for the coffee, and I made an egg! In a cast iron pan!

And I grated cheese over it with a new cheese

grater, salt, pepper, a piece of toast… butter

And that was the third hour

And then I lay down in bed again

And that was the fourth hour

And the I lay down in bed again

And that was the fifth hour

Then I decided to start, to start my day, really start

Wake up

Wake up

Wake up

Become presentable, able to accomplish things,

and I started with a toilet to wash

and I think I stopped at the chessboard

Stopped at the queens knight

He had no where to go

And that was the sixth hour

Then I went to the toilet and I brushed my teeth,

I stepped into the shower, I kept the water a bit cool

Afterward I trimmed my beard,

and the hairs get everywhere so it took a while to clean that up

We don’t have servants, we’re not rich, y’know, money is a worry

And that was the seventh hour

So It’s three O' clock now, schools getting out,

I haven’t really eaten lunch, I’ve been inside all day,

the windows are open but the air is still

different inside and it’s bright outside there

I feel itchy and clammy, cooped up

And I think, how good it would be to go out, how good to go,

walk in the park, how good to just go anywhere, see children,

married couples, old men, dogs, squirrels and birds, and trees

And that was the eigth hour

And, And I know if I could wrote three short piano pieces I could get

a payment, and that would help,

and I think-I think that some of thise activities mostly went on for

a bit more longer so really we’re at

the ninth hour, and that was the ninth hour

And I read a book! I think, or I read a little bit of a few books,

books I really love and I stared at the shelf for a while andI tried

to find ones I’d forgotten about and I

looked at a poem and I sat at the piano

And I played a Bach 2-part invention, F Minor

Though not very well

I practiced the scales at the end of it, tried to get it up to speed

And then I was so tired

And that was the tenth hour

And then I layed down in bed again

And that was the eleventh hour- Oh! Oh! And all day too, all day,

I was reading letters, little notes that came in from eh,

booking agents, touring managers and uh,

a concert in Lisbon or Helsinki,

and I read the news, and various journals, and I tried to keep up

And I wrote a few letters back,

threw many others away, this I did all throughout the day

So many minutes were spent with this, spent with on other people,

obligation, a prompt reply, a professional, and in control,

a sane way of doing things,

so many minutes on these worthless things!

So now we are at the…

twelve hour?

Must be

That was the twelfth hour

And then Natalya came home

And I left

And came here

And that was the thirteenth hour

And this is the fourteenth hour, and then I’ll go home,

in the fifteenth hour,

I’ll talk to Natalya for a bit, find out about her day

And that will be the sixteenth hour

And the I will go to sleep

for eight hours

And those hours are easy
