Be A Wondering Ponderer - A Pondering Wanderer

---

This old gal…

Often listens to a podcast…when walking outside…put the phone in the chest fanny pack thing…turn it up loud…typical embarrassing old people thing…cuz one of us…cannot stand ear buds…sometimes tho…the podcast gets lost in the shuffle…as the old gal Alice in Wonderland mind…starts to wander…on the most minuscule of things…and then fall deeper and deeper…into…Ponderland…

Saw a peach pit…lying haphazardly on the sidewalk…seemed strange…a peach pit…in town…on a walkway…and so it began…walker me…got curiouser and curiouser…pondering on scenarios with such a result…

Was someone just driving along…eating a peach like an apple…tossing the pit out the window when finished…if so…who buys a peach…and eats it like an apple…while driving…and why a peach…yes peaches are tasty…but also juicy…not ideal…for munching on the go…and why the sidewalk…why toss it outside…surely the peach eater…if planning to eat it in the car…had a napkin or something…wrap it in that…

And then…walker me…came across the tree…just up the block…arching over the sidewalk…branches reaching down…heavy laden…with peaches…and so much of the muchness going on in the head…became clear…peach eater…was a walker…plucking a treat…while passing by…

And this old gal…whirled right back…to reality…and headed home…for she was late…very late…for a very important…date…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
