Writing to music

Copy and paste the link at the end of this post into your browser. It will take you to one of Mozart's most famous violin concertos (No.5 in A, second movement). Just listen for the first minute (or so), then start writing, beginning with the words "This morning, I..." and continue until a minute (or so) after the music ends. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=caVr-VdeDvw&list=RD023kvWClaJKd8

    This morning, I woke to a bright crisp day, the suns fingers tugging insistently on my curtains, the second hand infrared urged me to the window to reveal myself to her. There she was (and the lady form 104 - sorry love) pouring herself through my window caressing my body with no invite required, her bright cheery outlook beckons me to play.

    I open the window to a cool english breeze with the sensation of mint and hot tea. It is quiet, it is just 6am, but already the little frolicking rabbits in the field opposite are thinking of their burrows, the big fat friggin sex mad pigeons have at last abated their incessant posture cooing for another day.

    THis is a beautiful day, perhaps I should follow the growing concerto of spring outside my window, lie in thick verdant grass (avoiding dog poos of this near city escape) and breath the sky to my heart, filling me with an oestrus my male body does not deserve. THe high tweeting of birds like music, calling me to their dance floor.

    Nope, shower and a day feeding mammon will have to do again...

    Just to point out that the last part of the first paragraph applies to the sun only - not the nice little old lady from 104
