Guest guest Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 I heard two ducks fly over me honking while I was working this afternoon. I did not look up from what I was doing but I noted that one of the ducks seemed plaintive and the other obsessive, dominating.I thought: That one guy sounds worried, likes he [why not she?] is saying " Why? why? " The other duck seems to be saying, " C'mon, c'mon. " Then it occurred to me that it was a miracle that I knew what these ducks far overhead were feeling and then it occured to me that I didn't know what anything " far overhead " was doing. All I knew was a feeling labelled " overhead flying ducks " and the feeling was noplace other than exactly where I was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
