ALL UNDER
UNCLE WIGGLY
The guy at the ice machine was having trouble, the
ice was overflowing his container, cubes of clear,
everywhere. Apparently the thing just would not
shut off - 'Take it for what it's giving!' I told him,
'Frozen water's really a temporary thing - supposed
to make it easier to handle too.'
-
He had, what, poison ivy or psoriasis all over his
arms. I wondered which - didn't ask, didn't care.
If it burns, ice it, if it stings, cool it down. I'm a mental
case doctor, prescribing for free. Now listen to me :
'As far as you've come, there's always more of the
path to follow. You've earned it, so never decline
the turn. This life is just a vest you wear - fill the
little pockets with something, and then move on.'
