2002-04-03 & 7:02 a.m. : muslin cape

every morning while i am getting dressed for work i stare into my closet at the stack of linens there on the third shelf.

it's the muslin sheets that taunt me the most.

i never wanted to when i was a little kid, but now all i think about when i see those sheets is tying one of them around my neck like a cape and running around my neighborhood, stuart my trusty sidekick next to me, a pillow case fastened around his sidekick neck.

then, after fighting crime, i would take my muslin cape and roll myself up into a cocoon on my bed, and then sleep for a few years.

every work morning, this is what i think about.
