Ice cold rain that raises the hair on the back of your neck ! Gusty winds scatter slick brown leaves across the walkway , driveway and blacktop ! Red , puffy morning eyes , running late , a tiny clear patch in the windshield to view the highway ! Hands ten two on the steering wheel , basically driving from memory a half hour before sunrise ! Stop for gas and coffee with a cinnamon roll , off again with the morning news on the radio ! Find your parking space , making a beeline to the office , boss looks your way then glances at his watch ! Hit the lights , start the computer , raise the curtains ! Lay your bag of bones in a chair and pray for a quick eight hours !
