Winter Storm Press

The sun is raining in through my window.

I feel greatly refreshed.

Today is going to be great.

It is Badminton Day.

After breakfast,

I’m going to prove to the badminton judges

just how good I am.

Lately, I’ve been afraid of crackers.

You know, they’re very dry, 

dryer than they need to be.

Whenever I see a pack of crackers, 

in my living room,

in my bedroom,

in my bathroom,

I get nervous.

Why are there so many crackers around?

Why is it that when I’m afraid of them,

they appear?

Maybe its moths.

I dont know, just guessing.

The Librarians from Evantonian came to our library today.

They parked a big white truck in the no parking zone.

Each one of their librarians wore a big grin as they entered our library.

The noise level rose as they came out.

I could actually hear the Library like it was an electronic aria.

And although it was far, far away

I could hear the electronic aria from the Evantonian Library.

Impressed by all the weird loveliness, I started the walk home,

The two electronic arias in my head.

The sound was not at all irritating; 

in fact, it was soothing and trance-like.

Everyone in Linkyshire was walking home.

The whole town was sleep-walking 

because of what the Evantonian librarians did.

When I got home I was so happy I went to sleep in it.

This was the second odd experience in a fortnight.

For some reason, 

members of the LPD (Linkyshire Police Department) have taken jobs in town.

For instance, Harmon, the night patrol guy, is working as a dishwasher.

Reports indicate they all met by the fountain two nights ago

and threw their hand guns into the water.

I went to check and sure enough

there was a pile of them there

rusting away.

Evantonian truck traffic has increased.

The positive is that the sirens don’t wake me up in the middle of the night.

I appreciate that.

Observe the fly on a door frame.

Grab a stiff envelope.

Walk by the fly as if nothing is going to happen.

Once past the fly and out of sight,

turn,

and slap the envelope against the fly’s position.

Observe the fly on the floor in the next room.
