just a few days ago, i saw two gloves within two miles of my house. another tragedy, of course, for both were in the middle of a busy street and doomed to stay there until being picked up by a gust of wind or a sticky truck wheel. after frowny-facing for a while i got over it, because life is good and there are other gloves to be had.
two days ago, i was at the pepperdine west LA campus for class. i was heading down a ramp in the parking structure when i noticed a little black thing on the pavement. i didn't pay it any mind since i was keen on finding a parking space and getting to class on time. after class, i hopped in my car and started up the ramp again, glanced sideways at the black being, and drove on. but wait, was that a thumb i saw? could it have been a glove? i had to be sure. quickly finding an empty spot, i pulled in and hopped out of the car with the motor still running. oh glee, it was a glove! a fine specimen, too! it looked so clean and well-kept, nothing like the greasy gardening gloves i've been finding as of late.i joyfully snatched up the glove and got back in the car, placing the glove gingerly on my passenger seat. when i home, i inspected the glove to determine how best to handle it.
the glove had a long wrist and a ruffle at the cuff, so i removed the ruffle and fashioned it into a mohawk (i want one so badly). instead of making the wrist into legs, i decided it would be appropriate to make a glove with an enormous cranium to house an enlarged brain, since i found the glove at a place of education. the fingers form two arms, two legs, and one long nose. the tag transformed into a tie to make the glove presentable and interview-ready.
he's one smart cookie, he's one good-lookie. meeeeet....
Ed!
