Tittle today

For when the body clock trumps the mind watch..case in point today!
What seemed to be a little after midnight was in fact early morning and you know how it is, the eye slowly opens to glimpse through the window to ensure it's morning what with the dawn breaking and all, my eye traversed through the gloom of the room, unsliced yet by small streaks of light and found the darkness outside the window most heartening because it meant there's still more time to sleep, however my body was ready to wake up and get about the daily duties, and I had the most difficult time telling it to go back to sleep seeing how it was still no more than 2am and that's when the soundless argument between my body and brain began.
It was unusually dark inside the room, pitch black nearly and that probably set off some alarms in my head, I mean not that dramatic but even so.
I fumbled for the phone to see the time and whaddya know, it was almost six.
The foreboding darkness out was on account of thick heavy rain clouds smeared across the sky, getting heavier by the moment, and the darkness getting bleaker each passing minute. I kept sitting on the bed feeling cold and confused.
To switch off the ac and run towards the window was a thing of the moment and indeed the day out was almost midnight black.
Windless and brutally silent, the quietness punctured only by morning noise of school buses and garbage trucks and hushed facelessness of Tuesday looming large along with voluptuous clouds of colour.

Lights were switched on and everything happened in a muted understanding of otherworldly gloom, one that has now assumed tingling rains and I sit still in the darkened dungeon, now with all lights off, contemplating brunch.
