"One should count each day a separate life."

i ate a fortune cookie today;
most of the stories are unread.
she takes decaf in her own cup.
"I'm communicating with you...
i had vegetable fried rice for lunch.
one quote comes from the first story.
there are four minarets in Switzerland.
the other quote comes from the cookie.
there are 348 days remaining in this year.
across a vast gulf of
ignorance and darkness."
it is illegal to build minarets in Switzerland.
i drank half-caffeinated coffee in my own cup.
Muslims account for 4% of the Swiss population.
there are scraps of the Sunday Times in my bag.
there were two stainless steel cups on the counter.
his new book is called The Enchantress of Florence.
out of those, how many do we really pay attention to?
i have a book of stories by Donald Barthelme in my bag.
i heard Salman Rushdie interviewed on the radio this morning.
there was a parking lot reconsideration of this morning's waking.
