New Steven Wilson, I mean Mary's cat

[mike coleman]

When we had the ducks and geese "going" in the middle of Dallas
"suburbia", which is basically totally insane, and I knew it was
insane at the time but looking back I wish my dad were alive for a
minute so I could ask him what he hell he was thinking.....
(pause for breath)

(geese firmly NOT recommended, they do love to chase you and try to bite you)

I brought home a small mallard duck from the local creek. tjhis guy
was a little "different", other than not being white and being so
gentle and quiet.
I could take him and "launch him into the air", and every single time
without fail he would fly a loop around the street we lived on and fly
right back into my arms.
When we had to get rid of the ducks and geese, the mallard went with
them, to some people the parents knew out in the country.
It wasn't a week when we heard they were all killed by wolves. I
always wondered if MAYBE the mallard got away, but I doubt it...he (or
she) only seemed to fly when I launched him (or her)
Just look at what Mary's done--- I think I have to go cry
