wanderers in the fall

today, earlier, i was driving with my daughter and we spied a discarded end table by the dumpster.  i wasn't sure at first but it looked like it was trying to not get noticed by us or the other passing cars; waiting for the chance to make it's getaway.  my daughter said maybe it was going to run for the nearby woods; that maybe it was sad and wasn't doing to well as an end table and that's why it was thrown out; and that now it wanted to be happy again and be with it's loved ones again.

it must of got cold feet because when we came back it was still there.  i suspect it is waiting for nightfall and then it'll make it's move well before the garbage men arrive.

my daughter added later on october 10, as it was getting dark and we were leaving, "he better head for midnight." after i mentioned that the table was still there and maybe it was waiting for it to (both of us together) "get dark."
