Astoria Springs


Yesterday, while it was dry, I found myself outside. There was a stream of water racing down the street, no fire hydrant or hose near-by. What could be the source of this I pondered. So I followed it upstream and found the source. Water was leaking out of the sidewalk, gushing actually. Is there an underground spring on my block, I don't get it. Can I bottle this shit and give Evian a run for its money? The most peculiar thing was that it was plugged up by a stick that someone jammed into the hole. I considered removing the stick, but then I thought, well what if I do and the built-up pressure shouts out at me and takes out an eye. I can afford to take such a chance. I let it be. Look though, I'm not lying!!!
