Things I've Seen Carried on a Motorbike

  • A full-length mirror
  • A crateful of clucking chickens (live fowl!)
  • 4 potted kumquat trees
  • A glass-fronted china hutch
  • A family of 6
  • 3 dead pigs
  • Silk flower displays, heading for delivery, surrounding the driver and looking like the Rose Bowl Parade gone lo-fi
  • Bales of fresh herbs packed tightly as hay
  • A huge pane of glass, just waiting for a slapstick movie mishap
  • 20-foot-long lengths of 2-by-4s
  • Dozens of tropical fish tied into individual plastic bags, all of different colors, hte globes of the sacks reflectng the sky and the flash of the traffic, as if he's carrying a rack of prisms or crystal balls
  • A tree of cotton candy, lit somehow from within, the pink and white tufts glowing like... like... like a tree of cotton candy tufts lit somehow from within
  • Another motorbike
