my morning commute, in smells

rye toast, car exhaust, cut grass, elephant manure*, skunk, stagnant water, cut grass, cigarettes, cheap cologne, chemicals, gasoline, bacterial broth, coffee.



*although i am prone to exaggeration, this is actually true; i park at the zoo and the back of the elephant pens are right along the sidewalk towards the med center. can't see them but sometimes i hear them.
