cracks in the concrete
You know those little cracks in the concrete? How did they get there? In such a rural area as my place of residence that experiences no major earth movements like earthquakes or major alien invasions that bring down huge spaceships on the concrete, how did.. how did they get there?
One day as a small child, doing my duties as per requirement of the chore chart that was stamped on the refrigerator, I began dragging the large trashcan out to the curb, as it was trash day. I easily slipped on what seemed to be a suspiciously placed banana peel like I was in Mario Kart, therefore dropping the large garbage can on the concrete driveway. (Just kidding-I was all clumsy and just dropped it like a dummy.)Did that do it? Did I make that small yet impactful crack in the concrete? I mean, I say impactful only because it has been there for at least 10 years, despite its small size.
Is it just that the cracks randomly appear? Are we sure that my little mishap as a child caused a crack in the pavement? Was it some other child? Did something do it? Did it just come? Do they have stories to them? Do they mean anything? You can’t help but wonder how they happened? What exactly occurred in some conspicuous moment to create such a thing? Many stories, experiences and memories come straight from those little cracks in the pavement! It’s our duty to create them, and to never forget them.
