SECOND PERSON, PRESENT TENSE, FUTURE DOUBTFUL
July 3, 2012
A mandarin gets stuck on a coal barge.
You phone the police.
A headless egret flies by.
You duck into Spencer’s Gym and go a few rounds with Mushy Callaghan.
A wild tangle of vines writhes down the middle of the street.
You stagger home, all the while dodging chunks of falling concrete.
Corn grows rapidly on top of a tiptoeing school bus.
You toss your hat onto the sofa and kiss your wife substitute on several of her eyes.
Another day in paradise.
