So early it's still almost dark out. |
| [00:11.56] |
I'm near the window with coffee, and the usual early morning stuff that passes for thought. |
| [00:17.87] |
When I see the boy and his friend walking up the road to deliver the newspaper. |
| [00:23.41] |
They wear caps and sweaters, and one boy has a bag over his shoulder. |
| [00:29.32] |
They are so happy they aren't saying anything, these boys. |
| [00:34.51] |
I think if they could, they would take each other's arm. |
| [00:39.68] |
It's early in the morning, and they are doing this thing together. |
| [00:44.26] |
They come on, slowly. |
| [00:46.52] |
The sky is taking on light, though the moon still hangs pale over the water. |
| [00:53.04] |
Such beauty that for a minute death and ambition, even love, doesn't enter into this. |
| [01:01.86] |
Happiness. |
| [01:05.59] |
It comes on unexpectedly. |
| [01:08.50] |
And goes beyond, really, any early morning talk about it. |
