Funny Little Things

It's funny little things that make the clock tick-tock, funny little silly things that make the hands go round, funny little sappy little minor major things.

Like sweat dripping off your temples as you run around the lake.

Like a successful compile when you've written new code.

Like a boy walking to school with lunch box and backpack and trombone in hand.

Like a command line prompt on a flat-screen iMac.

Like a dog curled up in a ball on a cold day or a cat sitting quietly on the window sill.

Like selectable channels in Java 1.4.

Like a young Monterey Oak tree leaning in the wind.

Like your boss calling you in hard times to scrounge some work while other poor laid off souls walk the post-boom ghost-town streets.

Like hot coffee in the morning or maple syrup on waffles or cream cheese on bagels just out of the toaster.

For heaven's sake, such silly little things that make the clock tick-tock. Such things that make you realize how lucky you are in spite of what you might think or otherwise say.
