Zombie Oarsman, Zombie Balloons

Assignment Two  

Zombie Oarsman, Zombie Balloons

By Kelly Lydick

All hot air rises, but not all that rises must converge.

Everything is a living, breathing creature, even if inanimate, stoic, gleaning.

That all has breath indicates that all teeth must be brushed.

A steam engine is nothing more than a machine that processes air.

Moving air from one pocket to another is like shuffling invisible dance steps.  Zombie dance steps dragging one leg behind the other.  Just like Michael Jackson’s Thriller.

All zombies move air from one pocket to another. Sometimes there is change, a few dimes, but often there is only a cellular phone.

The cellular phone does not move air from one pocket to another, but has the capability of transporting data the way a train transports cargo.

In India, there are trains with open windows that symbolize imperialism.  Ghandi would not approve.  Ghandi did not ride trains that had steam engines, and he did not listen to Michael Jackson’s Thriller.

All hot air rises, but not all hot air is full of fluff, of philosophy, of meaning.  Everything that is full of hot air is like cotton candy, sweetly sickening in smell but tasting good.  Everything that smells of cotton candy must eventually melt.

Everything that is air is invisible. You might consider dyeing it so as to track its movement through space.  Everything that is dyed is trackable.

Also, a steam engine train can be a time machine, as illustrated in Back to the Future III.  All time machines must move backward and forward in time.  It’s prudent to dye the time machine, too, so as to find it again amongst the regular steam engine trains.  Every steam engine train that is a time machine must be tracked.

A steam engine has neither an ego nor heart, but rather a set of chug-a-chugs that move in circles.  This is reminiscent of an oarsmen with only one oar, who tries to move through space.  Everything is circular and therefore trackable.  An oarsmen cannot travel through time.

All hot air rises. Balloons are noisy and cold and unromantic.  They are full of fluff and fire and if they had teeth, those should be brushed, too.  A balloon cannot travel through time. A balloon also processes air, just by burning it from nothing into nothing.

Traveling through time is overrated as most places that are worth traveling to are not light years away.  Except the eagle nebula.  The eagle nebula can be tracked.  It also moves air from one place to another and shines brightly with fire like a balloon.

All hot air rises.  In winter, it’s a good idea not to invite an elephant to your home because they may fall through the floor and break through the roof.  An elephant is not trackable, except by other elephants.  Elephants do not listen to Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Most, however, really like Ghandi.

All hot air rises.

All chug-a-chugs make noise.  All chug-a-chugs move air. Cause this is Thriller.  Thriller night. Oarsmen beware.
