Rock and Roll

In front of the China Palace restaurant there was a stone frog, it was not hatched in a cloud of spawn like the rest of us, it was decorative, placed as it was, upon a rock above an ornamental pond. Inside the China Palace there was, at some time, a similar stone frog, it could have been a female frog, hard to say for sure. If given a million years the two stone artifacts may have rolled into each other as many rocks do in time. Sadly the two gender neutral frogs will never now meet for the restaurant closed for good some time ago, it is now a Burger King franchise. The stone frogs have been banished, one to a faraway garden center, the other to the back of that same fast food eatery. At back of the former China Palace there remains a small enclosure where hard working Americans in the catering and service industry are known to smoke a hasty cigarette, and talk into their cell phones - mostly about sex. That’s just how things roll around here.
