Cobb: The Farm Metaphor

Cobb wonders:

Are chickens not supposed to come home, or when they do come home are they not supposed to roost? Do chickens who come home, not come home until the cows come home? That is to say, when you send them away are they expected not to return or are they returning too early? Is it OK for a rooster to roost? And why is a rooster not a chicken? What is roosting anyway?

Good questions, all.

I’d like to know why anybody would want to draw a line in the sand. It’s easily done, and just as easily erased. You want to impress me, you better chisel a line in the concrete.
