5. 'IF YOU'RE A FOX' - COLLEGE KIDS ARE LIKE THAT THESE DAYS:
'Women should be obscene and not heard' said the markings on the wall by the grinding edge of the yellowed bridge which somehow took people over the little dam which collected water for the ducks and geese - yet no one appreciated a God-damned thing in retrospect and everyone kept clapping for something but all I heard was the Funeral March played in double-time too fast for slow walking but too slow to hum and the table-top gumbo was being served to the crowd by elves in tophats with white aprons that read 'Show-Pan Brothers Catering - from our kitchen for you're bitchin' GOOD TIME!' and the entire thing was so stupid even I couldn't believe my eyes BUT college kids these days are like that aren't they and this was some form of revelry with kid-glove girls looking to score and high-fivin' guys on the make and the everyday ordinary blandness of the scene made me wonder why life went on in such a way as to make a thirty-thousand dollar school-year attractive for anyone and I understood at that moment that like hounds at the chase it's all only valuable IF YOU'RE A FOX in which case getting captured or not you're still having fun.
