Ducks know something about prayer - bowing their heads, plunging into the mystery that feeds them and holds them buoyant. Receiving bread from the hands of strangers. Traveling in pairs.

Why does every Austin thai spot load their food with jalapeños. Why do they hate me personally. Why are they afraid of Thai bird chilis
