Monday Morning Wake-Up Call

Dawn is like dumping milk into an inkwell.
First, there are erratic curdles of white, then streamers.
Shade the bottle for a gray colloid, then watch it whiten a little more.
All of a sudden you’ve got day.
Then start heating the mixture.

~ Roger Zelazny, from The Doors of His Face, The Lamps of His Mouth

  1. “Dawn is like dumping milk into an inkwell.” Would never have thought of describing it this way, but now that I’ve read it, I can’t get it out of my head. Perfect!
