Today is one such day. They've been up since 11 am and they're only going to be there until 5 pm. They look an awful lot like freakish, unasked-for accidents of nature, some sort of biological phenomena writ large--moving, sensing, aggressive, almost sexual. Or they look like an outgrowth of Earth's hairs, blowing languidly in the atmosphere. They're also kind of sausage-y, and it complicates everything to know they're made out of trash-bag lining,...

But then a half hour later children were running through them, riding them like ponies, and puncturing one or two. They are neat to look at, but yeah, I see them in car dealerships now.
