Bathroom Monologue: Evening Out, Evening In

Evening is called such because it is when the night gets even with the day. The day swelters, scouring the earth with light and heat. An honest shadow can barely make a living by midday. It’s towards dusk when full-bodied night stars rolling in and checking the accounts, making sure the sun settles up before it slinks off to wherever. It’ll be back, and it’ll cheat again. Only evening can keep it fair.

  2. This was lovely, thought-provoking and poetic. It's nice to see a mix of things on the BM, and I like 'em short.
