Laura Pena - Week 10 Reading Journal lyrics

10-14 Columbus day. 10-15 The man who had had the room before, after having slept the sleep of the just for hours on end, oblivious to the worries and unrest of the recent early morning, awoke then the day was well advanced and the sounds of the city completely invaded the air of the half-opened room. He must have thought -since no other state of mind occupied him- about the thick preoccupation of d**h, about his full, round fear, about the piece of earth-clay of himself-that his brother must have had under his tongue. 10-16 - PSAT. 10-17 Toward the end of January the sea was growing harsh, it was beginning to dump its heavy garbage on the town, and a few weeks later everything was contaminated with its unbearable mood. From that time on the world wasn't worth living in, at least until the following December, so no one stayed awake after 8 o'clock.
