Your days of admiring tractors are over. You own a tractor now. And even more, you use it. You have to keep it in working shape and reasonably clean. The suffered roadside tractor is a fantasy of yours no more. It has gone the way of all your dreams, stuck somewhere up the chimney. You’re a dreamless farmer now. Plodding, sewing, studying the sun.

Oh to be pampered. This life of luxury is a curse. And a carousel. Also, at times, a cruise — cruises being cursed carousels themselves, after all. What’s that? Yes, thank you Armand, that will be all. I’m content. Here with my cotton balls.

Pretty soon we’re gonna stop using mason jars at restaurants. But what will replace them? Tall and thin lady-like numbers that show our societal finesse? Native American baskets that hardly leak at all? Milk cartons? You wonder as you slurp banana royale out of a waffle cone.
