A wrinkle for Estelle

-- How was your day?

-- Fine. I didn't do much. The laundry. I made cornbread. You wouldn't like it though. Soy milk and olive oil. How was yours?

-- Oh it was good. Class was good. I got an A on my presentation. Now I'm walking from the bus stop xxxxx

-- I can't hear you.

-- I'm sorry. I'm facing in the wind right now. Let me change ears. Is that better?

-- A bit.

-- Oh, oh Rick. There's a dead bird on the sidewalk. The poor thing. It must have fallen from the tree above.

-- Is it a duck?

-- No. Ha ha. It's head is hidden. It's under its wing. It looks like a pigeon, but one of the pretty kind, not an ugly ratty one.

-- So it's not a dead duck.

-- No, the poor thing.

-- But in a way, it is.
