A Place for Repose

Tonight I have decided that my purpose for tomorrow shall be to find a place of repose, a place that offers intimate distance between society and myself. My thought cathedral has become, in a sense, stuffy, and the processes of thought have become tangled as in a web. So tomorrow I shall journey out, either on lunch, or after work, and search for a place of repose. It must meet certain requirements. It must not be of such atmosphere that I feel out of place. People must have frequent comings and goings that I might muse about the subject of their thoughts. It must, as an imperative, serve some sort of beverage, either hot or cold, and must not frown upon undue lingering. The criteria are very difficult to meet precisely, but mostly because of the fourth and most important criteria: that the statistical probability of happening upon someone I know be less than once in every thirty visits. So tomorrow I will take my camera and report on the locations that I should come upon. Already, before even I start, I have ruled out places that do not meet my criteria- efficiency is a goal of daily life.
