Friendly Fire
Jul. 5th, 2005 11:17 pmI was sitting at the bus stop this morning when I noticed the chair next to me was on fire.
We had a lovely conversation, me and the fire. We talked about the need oxygen, the confusion of being a chemical process capable of sentience, and the color orange.
The fire had a lot of interesting things to say about the color orange. I am glad I took those Fire lessons in high school language class.
And I'm glad I convinced the transport authority guy to let me transfer the fire to a torch before he took a fire extinguisher to the chair.
