Breakfast Or Bed.... |

Bacon sizzling as the smell flows from room to room... Daylight breaks the darkness in soft hues... Coffee perking slowly in a methodical rhythm Juan would be proud to hear. The clink of the cup waits patiently. Sounds of a distant shower... Humming, singing...a tune almost familiar. The smell of toast broiling, butter melted and bubbling to crispness. A watchful eye must prevent the burn.... Eggs popping lightly....over easy as hash browns turn golden and await a shower of salt...ever so lightly... All of these....such morsels to savor...waiting.....warm... Will they remain warm....or will the heat of passion, a lingering shower... That is what microwaves are made for....to warm things up...when others cool... A new day arrives....as a light breeze rustles silk curtains....and hands rustle silk....and lace.. again.. |

(smiles) Oh Barry, this is wonderful, sweet friend, mmmmmmmmm...I miss having a hearty breakfast like that, along with soy milk or grapefruit juice! (big hugggssssss) I love the microwave metaphor here, sweet friend, and then everything is best if simmered on low once fully cooked, I love this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

SOmething tells me you're not describing the Waffle House!! Barry, this is really very good. You used the words expertly to create an atmosphere and create a scenario that comes to life in the mind of the reader. I can smell the bacon.... |
