does it count if you fake it?

i watched some ducks today.
they were in a .. gosh i don't know what to call it .. it's not a stream, it's just some kind of delightfully misplaced windey bit of water beside the strip mall around the corner... there was not one, but two shopping carts dumped in it. the ducks didn't seem to mind. i minded. it's not very tasteful to put shopping carts in ducktown. some other ducks were strolling around beside the water and at first i thought they were carrying chunks of snow in their mouths, but then i realized it was just fluffy snow piled up on top of their bills. again, they didn't seem to mind. i laughed at them and i think some people driving by laughed at me laughing by myself.

maybe i'll just be a duck for a bit.
they seem to have their priorities straight.
