Most people would have walked right in. But you have NO idea just how long I stood at this particular door and contemplated. That’s right…. deliberated. This conundrum created a great deal of turbulence in my brain. You see, I was:

A.) not only at a loss as to what I should do; but also….

B.) brooding over the intentions behind such a predicament such as this.

To the first part of this…. my confusion is clearly spelled out here. Do I push or do I pull? Not since I saw the “Pushmi-Pullyu“ in the original Dr. Doolittle movie (with Rex Harrison) have I had such anxiety.

But regarding the second half of this… I began to wonder just who may have been behind such an atrocity as this. Was it merely a mishap? An accident? Some 15-year-old clerk not paying attention to what the boss told him to do with the “Pull” sign?

Or was this the work of some Villain at large? Perhaps Dr. Contrary was at work again…. committing deeds of Conflict and Divergence all over our good city. A cruel game of “Red Light Green Light”? Were we on the brink of Cats and Dogs living together?  Absolute turmoil…. for crying out loud!

Or could it be some greater message from the Universe? We’ve seen this sort of thing happen all the time throughout history. This is what great discoveries may be made of. I mean, at some point, Galileo had to figure out that Copernicus was really on to something. Everyone (even the heads of Church & State) said he was wrong about the Sun being in the middle of our little rotation here….. but alas.   So could it be some kind of cue from the Cosmos? About….. well…… about something??

I’m sorry to say, this line of thought went on for hours. And all I really wanted to do was buy a pair of sweat socks.  Darn it.

Just another day in the mind of a Polly.
