Mother Nature's Son
I decided to start a garden, maybe start eating stuff a little lower on the food chain. Once I picked out a suitible plot of land, I grabbed a rake, pick and a shovel. I have never planted a garden, but I'm pretty sure you have to thrash the dirt a bit, and take out any big rocks. So that's what I did. I have to tell you, twilight was upon me, the wind was howling, and after a while I got into this zone where I kind of felt like I was an old Japanese peasant farmer from one of those old Akira Kurasawa movies. All of a sudden I was in this field of tall grass, the wind whipping my tattered clothes, hands blistered and calloused from a lifetime of hard labor. I start thinking to myself when will this bitter existence be over. Wild horses thunder by. Then, I hear giggling from a window and Vicki and the twins are laughing at me. Back to stupid reality.
