So Early

I haven't been out of house so early in such a long time.

The nice blue sky overcast - a nice blend that can be replicated in photoshop with the gradient tool.

Students with their name tags displayed so prominently on their uniforms, displaying their full name for all to see, and track, and stalk.

Some walk along, like drones, in zombiefied stances.

Others walk like robots, receiving directions and downloading To-Do lists from their earphones.

And the smell. This fresh crisp air, filled with excitement and unknown possibilities for the day. Return of test results, a new love interest, heartbreak and heartaches, who truly knows?

Some stuff their heads in books, others in newspapers. The dude at my diagonal right opposite reading his papers with a frown. Stocks not doing well? Or he hasn't relaxed his facial muscles yet. The man in his mid-40s, dressed in a bright blue Hawaiian shirt, standing in front of me looks forlorn out in the distance of the carriage window. Thinking about the long day ahead? Or wondering about the mistakes he made in bed last night?

Who knows what the future holds?
Its possibilities no one truly knows.
Unless we seize the chances
To live our dreams
And make our aspirations become
Reality.
