5
AM, darker than a cave in here,
until
I turn on the light. Thank you,
Thomas
Edison and General Electric.
Quiet
too, a deafening silence until
I
rustle around, fumbling for the
coffee
pot, running the water, mak-
ing
my morning sounds. Thank you,
Joe
DiMaggio and Mr. Coffee. I’d
thank
the guy who came up with
house
shoes and recliners too,
but
I doubt that even an all-wise
Google
has answers for those. TV,
though,
I turn on the set to check
out
the weather and catch up with
the
news. Thank you, Philo
Taylor
Farnsworth
who
is credited as being
a
television pioneer. In
a way, I
can
relate
to the pioneer concept. As
with
all the rest who came before
to
explore, thank you posthumously,
Mom
and Dad, responsible for the
creation
of me, an
adventurous spe-
lunker,
plumbing uncharted
worlds.
Otherwise,
I’d
be
another
run
of the
mill,
ordinary guy fumbling about
in
early
morning, having
once again made
it
to the light through the unknown
cavernous
depths of yet another night.
