The Doockle-Duck’s Epiphany
The Doockle-Duck’s Epiphany
by the Duck, himself
The door opened on the frosty cow
Outside, the snow had not yet fallen
The cow fell through the earth
He discovered the Kim lighting a fuse to a bomb
The Kim and the cow began to talk
They talked of the moon
And of the bulletin board of the school
The board, which was coated with papers and flyers
And the molasses of yester year
(“Oh them molasses of yester year!”)
The board, neglected, coated with a mixture of sugar syrup and dead trees
And children’s fingers and their nails
And while they talked
The fuse ran out…
The end.
Truly.
Fin.
