the roadpatcher

walking to school today I came across this amazing contraption, the roadpatcher, which looks like a truck with a giant tar-spitting snake-monster head. I took immense pleasure in its bizarreness. I even skipped a little on the sidewalk, getting close enough to it to see the black stuff its metal mouth was emitting.

for a second I thought I was inhabiting a world with real scary monsters, and it made me very happy, but actually I am just inhabiting a world with potholes and roadpatchers (potholes are bad, roadpatchers are good).
