It was 3 am and Bean woke me up wanting something.  I thought maybe she had
to pee so I got up and opened the front door for her to go out while I went
to pee myself.  Afterwards I walked out into the yard, looking for her.  I
stood naked on the grass.  I walked over to the lemon tree.  The world was
so quiet.  Foggy orange street lights.  No Bean though.  I went back inside
and she was sleeping at the foot of the bed.  I'm not sure why she woke me
up in the first place unless maybe she was telling me to enjoy the morning.
Don't forget to pay attention, she said.

I fell back asleep and dreamt of finding things I'd once lost.  I went looking
for my old orange bicycle which had been stolen.  I looked for David's silver
Univega which had also been stolen.  I looked for books I'd long since loaned
away to people.  Everything I looked for could not be found but I was trying
so hard anyway.
