Field guide No. 220
The polite avalanche
It stopped for the flower.
A wall of tumbling snow freezes in place on a mountainside, curling carefully around a single red poppy growing from the rocks. Nobody wanted to be rude.
Field noteSnow that stops mid-fall is a physics complaint, not a logical one. Manners, apparently, are optional extras.
Also possible, also breaking physics
The library of rainJars hold water. Keeping it falling inside them is weather’s refusal, not logic’s.
The wrong end of summerTomatoes don’t make snow, but nothing forbids them in principle. Botanists remain unconsulted.
Escaping grooves on plasterGrooves are just shaped vinyl; lifting off makes them loose shaped vinyl. Odd, consistent.
Light breakfastLogically sound. Clouds simply don’t toast, which is physics’ problem, not logic’s.
