Abeer Appropriates

. there is a tree outside my house, visible from our balcony and from further in the house. i have grown up seeing that tree. because i dont know what kind of tree that is and because it resembles subsequent vegetable, i call it the broccoli tree. the broccoli tree is a very funny tree. everytime i walk towards it, it seems to run away. yet as i trace my steps backwards, it begins to come closer and closer to me. for years the broccoli tree has amused me. today i did the same thing. it amused me today as well.

. i want to own a duck. i will own a duck one day. i want to own a duck that lays little babies, who'll hatch and crowd against their mama. so obviously i want a female duck.

. today i cried for all of the Third World population out there. because some days you feel for everybody.

. today i also saw the moon at exactly 6.30 pm. it was there and clearly visible (haw haw). i tracked its progress and saw the sky around the moon (haw haw) go from a bright blue to an indigo, to pitch black. the moon was illuminated, and i couldnt be more fascinated. today was also the 14th, meaning it was a full moon. they say that hearts break with the onset of the full moon. that is why wolves howl and those old wives tales about changes take place on the date of a full moon.

. today i also watched a stray cat in the streetlights. i was enraptured for the longest time by its tail, which it was moving slowly but steadily. the stray cat also kept tossing and turning. i didnt like that, because i thought it was in pain. perhaps, the broken-heart analogy can also be applied to felines. who knows?

. dear you, that was an absolutely shitty move on your part. and one for which you just lost alot of respect.
