Things to do at a stop light
And from the seven deadly sins:
SLOTH
David Spiering
Off in the distance, through the wind's strong breath, bringing tears to my eyes, making them stream down my cheeks, making shimmering heat lines. I could barely pedal my bike. The light flips to green, I keep coming, coming, then it flipped yellow and red. The other might I sat in my over-comfortable chair watching the PBS nature show about sloths. I was nervous, I was watching the sloth, that a crocodile would ambush it. Its fur seems to grow backwards. Like an upside-down Mohawk hair cut. I wanted to turn the TV off and back on five minutes later. The crocodile would crack the sloth's head like a nutshell, after it finished eating its body. I' sitting here watching TV when I could be reading or writing, or doing something to make my life better. My hair feels like its been charged with electricity---I can almost feel all the way out its send. I think, tomorrow I'll do the positive things to improve my life. Tonight, I'll drink beer.
