5am, and the world is asleep. Well all that is except for the man walking alongside his bicycle holding a speaker playing club music and shouting 'woohoo' as he walks the main road outside the apartment. I think of all the possible reasons he could have for being on the street so awake and ready to irritate the world so voluntarily. Perhaps he has woken to the news he has won the lottery and wanted to share it with this particular section of the town, so full of delirium it warranted walking beside his mode of transport? Maybe he has completed some cycle marathon in Europe somewhere and has just arrived in town, past the finished line he brought preparations to play his theme song for getting over the finishing line so successfully, walking the last few metres home with only energy left to congratulate himself to the sounds of techno beats? 

Or perhaps he was not there at all and in my broken sleep from sniffles and coughs I have imagined such a character polluting my ears and causing me such irritation it has brought me to the pen. Either way here I am, and by the time it is now, here I will stay as the day has begun.........
