The dark at 3am still feels like pre-flight
Habit has me up before the first bird, checking the sky for no reason except that for forty years it was my job to read it. Now I watch the streetlights blink off and think how weird it is that you can miss a routine you never loved, just the shape of it.

Read this twice. Yeah. I still run a flashlight over the panel box before bed, forty years of checking for nothing. The habit outlives the need.
