Driftlo

🌀 ZigZag Tricks

Beatles Penguins

Wandering Trailheads

Driftlo doesn't try to get

anywhere.

It prefers arriving by

wandering.

Like seaweed drifting through

the ocean with an eyeglass

in one eye.

Yet everyone appeared to have

an appointment.

Outside the Bureau of

Lost Directions, the line

stretched all the way to the

pond.

Nobody seemed concerned.

A penguin wearing a Beatles t-shirt

was helping everyone find the

correct trailhead.

The penguin appeared to have

done this before.

A stork arrived carrying

seven forms.

It only needed one.

The other six were excellent.

Driftlo wandered past the line,

paused to inspect a crab that

appeared to be supervising

the clouds.

Beside the trailhead, a tortoise

stamped papers.

Further along, a breeze misplaced

three seashells and an afternoon.

Everything continued normally.

A seagull completed the

wrong form and was

congratulated anyway.

A jellyfish forgot why it had

come.

By lunchtime, everything had

been sorted out.

Even the jellyfish.

Nobody was entirely certain how.

The penguin in the Beatles

t-shirt waved from the start.

Driftlo waved back.

A committee of mollusks

adjourned early.

A heron misplaced

its clipboard.

Three pebbles were

reassigned to a puddle.

Nobody questioned this.

And the moon smiled upside down.

The earth whispered, "Wheee."

And there are popsicles on

Thursdays.

Wonder is wandering

Arriving is optional
