Sometimes it seems as though the alarm has been ringing constantly, for hours, throughout the night: not quite rousing me into a state of consciousness, but acting like a barb: prodding and agitating those pre-waking thoughts which serve to disturb, to ready me to face the world again.
It's when I reach over and press the snooze button that the sheer silence seems like the real alarm, shocking me into awareness.
Such a sense of fraughtness is less to do with everyday travails on this occasion, I think, and more to do with the fact that I saw a very compelling and intense documentary film last night - more of which later.

Is Zola on the same planet as others? Either that or I need a course in philosphey.
No, fire byrd, this was at the cinema - I'll blog about it soon enough, it was a Klaus Kinski film - or a film about Klaus Kinski to be more accurate.
And no, zola is not on the same planet, as least as far as my exhaustive research indicates.
Point taken Fire Byrd.
I hope Trousers smiles because I do so much enjoy many of the writings that always throw out alternative meanings.
keep it up.
Nice response, zola - and yes I do smile, even if it takes me a long time to work out how you've arrived at such an alternative meaning...
Actually, after I wrote my reply to fire byrd, I considered amending it to something like "no, zola isn't on a different planet: the rest of us are."
Smiles all round :)
