| extinct, like the dodo
Janet Kuypers 5/11/15 didn’t have a smart phone on me. was lost driving at night alone. didn’t recognize the streets — so all i could do was pull into a gas station and buy a map. walked in. looked everywhere. found maps of planet earth maps of the United States, but nothing local. saw the attendant at the counter. asked him where the maps were. “you didn’t see any over there?”, he asked. i said no. and he said, “well, we used to have more, but now we have candy bars there. would you like some candy bars?” he asked me jokingly, when i just wanted to know where i was going. excuse me, can you tell me where i am? ‘cause i can’t find a map, the attendant here couldn’t find his way out of a cardboard box, and now i’m lost, because without access to a G.P.S., it seems that maps have forever flown away and now they’re extinct birds. |
