Have you seen the sky today? No? No, neither have I... There’s one too many damned clouds in the way. But it’s not even raining. Unless leaves count as rain, in which case it’s a hurricane out there. Red and orange and gold and brown and, yes!, green, swirling around outside the window. It’s kind of pretty, but I wouldn’t want to go out in it. I mean, my cap might blow away. And then I’d have to chase it down the street and it would get caught up in one of the tornadoes of leaves and swirl up into the sky and...
I could be chasing it for weeks.
There’s no wind in here. Shut the door and the wind stays quietly outside. Well trained, and even if it does strain at the leash or bark as people walk past, beyond that it bloody well behaves itself. Knows it won’t get a biscuit if it doesn’t.
Did you know that yesterday is the same as tomorrow? No no, true story. It alternates you see. We have yesterday, then today, then tomorrow, which is the same as yesterday, so then, by default, we have to go back to today the day after tomorrow, and then yesterday the day after that. See? It’s all based on wave theory. Very legit.
A car just blew past on the street, swirling in the wind as it fell from the tree.
If I look up at the sky right now, it appears red and gold, like the breath of a dragon. And it has nothing to do with the tree I’m looking through. Sometimes the sky just is that colour. Even in the middle of the day. You wanna talk confusing?
When I’m old, I want to be able to walk quickly. None of this crossing the street only halfway before the walk signal changes to don’t walk. I’m gonna fucking skip.
Would you like to carve a pumpkin with me? I’ve got some Styrofoam, we could carve out a mold, then fill it with latex and, after a quick spray of orange paint, mass produce pre-carved pumpkins. It’s a genius idea, except it might have already been done. Prob’ly by someone with less imagination, just a quicker one. Too many things have already been done. We should go back to the time of cavemen. Man but we would flippin’ rock their world. Every seen one o’ these?! I would say as I drew a circle in the sand. And they’d grunt in astonishment, before revitalizing their entire economic structure.
Kudos to me.
