Where Ducks go to Ponder
By Curt

I wonder if dogs don’t dream then why do they sleep all
day, maybe that is why because they have no dreams to try to achieve for the
day or maybe they are just trying really hard to dream or the even remember
there dreams like I do, At least when they get up in the middle of the night to
use the restroom they don’t have to navigate very far like I do that is if they
live outside of course.
When I walk down my office hall I can not shake the
feeling that I will run into someone with one of those large stacks of paper
like in the movies causing them to scatter all over the floor like a paper
bomb, that’s why I guess they invented email just for me. But, I do
almost run into people all the time, never with papers just that shock thank
goodness that massive guy did not knock me down. And then there is the
awkward dance to see who will go which way, sometimes I just want to pick them
up like a doll and move them but I am patient and I stay till the last
dance.
Where do ducks go to ponder, do they have deep thoughts
and intense discussions on society, culture, art, and the universe. I
hear them squawking off in the distance sometimes wondering if they are just
warning each other or calling one another. Yet I never see them so
it makes me think they are in some kind of heated discussion far away where
they do not wish to be found. Maybe they are talking about humans or me
in general. I might just not order the duck next time I eat Chinese just
to be safe.
If there are ice cream trucks why are there not cake,
pie, or milk shake trucks? The milk shake seems to me like it would be
the easiest you don’t even need to buy a mixer just head over a couple of speed
bumps at full speed and there you go. Maybe it’s the health food craze,
that’s all we need the carrot or broccoli truck. You show up with one of
those trucks at a playground, and then you’ll have a riot on your hands.
And why do Ice Cream trucks have to go so fast down the street, by the time I
am out the door there 6 houses down, I guess they want you to exercise for
better health by running.
Is an escalator considered a set of stairs when it is not
working? And what is with those flat moving paths, I don’t know what you call
them but I call them from here to their lazy movers for when I am to lazy to
walk. I guess the escalator would be to climb from here to their lazy
movers for when I am too lazy to climb a set of stairs. I would take the
stairs at work but they are for emergencies only plus I am on the 18th floor
and arriving 4 hours
late would be bad. If I slide down the big
banister at the office is that considered taking the stairs. I guess I
could try I just hope I don’t run into someone and create a paper bomb
