(dragon fly mirage)
the dragonfly that mistook the bluish green . . .

Update on size:
No, the dragonfly wasn't as big as a car. 🤦‍♀️ That up there is an artistic conception 🎨 of that misguided flying bug. Spanky, think about it. If it had been that big I would've been chattering away about that and not that my hood tricked it like a scummy pond. It would've been on the news. I thought that was obvious but G_d knows I've been wrong before and I'm sure I will be again though not on purpose probably.

Me and the lovely Crown Victoria were tooling through the parking lot at the food store when a large dragonfly became enchanted by the hood of the car. It was bizzy, Bizzy, BIZZY in that ashphalt hell and so I was driving SLOW, Slow, slow . . . but uh the point is that it wasn't as though the dragonfly just dropped by, discovered the illusion, and flew off into outer space like the flu did in year one of The Age of the End of Convenience.

That blue-green hood had that snake feeder's nervous system mesmerized, and as the Crown Vic crept through the hordes of lesser vehicles, dragonfly kept pace and ran touch-and-go landings on that sham oasis. To be fair to the algorithms running the skeeter hawk, that Crown Vic hood can almost be classified as real estate instead of just a car part.

This dragonfly glitch went on for a few minutes before reality overtook us all once more. All I could figure was that my crayola blue-green engine compartment lid must've registered as cool, algae-rich water.

Is that it? Yeah, that's it. So nothing happened? Please don't be upset because I don't know exactly what it was. But I'm telling you: something did happen — and ain't that just the story of the world?
