When winter comes…
November 7, 2011
…you should put on your green sweater and look out the kitchen windows to wave to the helicopter whizzing by. When the streetlights switch on, you should cup your hands and try to empty the water out of the puddles. When you hear footsteps on the stairs, you should remove the old file from the brown briefcase and dust it till it shines as new. When your throat gets itchy, you should open the dressing drawer and sort the blue rubber bands out from among other colors and give them away to someone pretty. When the laundry’s waiting to be done, you should really look up a new recipe and try to make it for the family. You should be doing alright till the final step, and then you should forget to drain the extra water. When it looks like it’s about to rain, you should take the parachute out of the attic and paint it light yellow. When your airplane is about to land, you should write a small note on a piece of paper and place it on your tray-table before you close it. When the eclipse is near, you should pour some pomegranate juice into a wine glass and spill it over the carpet by mistake. And when you can’t sleep at night, you should buy compressed air and racquets – then you should clean your laptop before playing badminton.
On a side note, you know how some people say destiny has a way of working itself into your life? I don’t know how true that is. I don’t even know if other people are right when they say you’ve got to work towards your own destiny. And now I really wish I had something nice to say so that I could end this post with the words “All I know is…” , but I don’t.
On a side-r note, an interesting tweet I recently came across: “Good morning tweveryone!” Clever, isn’t it?
