Still across the morning sky.

holy well

When you walked across the tarmac to get on the plane was it still dark?

Yes. I looked up at the control tower and that was dark too.

Everyone asleep?

I hope not, but apparently they do.

Really?

Not all at the same time; they take it in turns.

How do you know this?

I worked with someone who sleeps in the tower some times; in fact he had just come direct from waking up.

How was he?

Sleepy.
