XXIV: panoramic cruise ship

A funny thing happened on the way to Jungle Duty today. Stopped at a purple light at the intersection of Swimming Pool. and Rooftop Terrace., I slowly peered over to my left and who did I see but the one and only Kermit the Frog! Now, I know what you're thinking: That's impossible... Kermit the Frog is dead. But I am telling you, the resemblance was uncanny. In a yellow taxi cab, Kermit waited by my side for an entire 2.5 minutes until the light changed. Two and a half minutes is more than enough time to check out each and every one of his remarkable facial features: Half- circle eyes, check. Small Saturn-shaped pupils, check. Triangular green face, check. Pink tongue with red outline, check. I stared over at him, rolled down my window and listened to his radio... Kermit was jamming to Gorillaz self-titled 2001 debut album: Gorillaz. It must have only been playing for a little while because I could make out the lyrics, "And the verdict doesn't love our soul, The digital won't let me go..." And, in disbelief, I just thought to myself, Kermit is definitely going where I'm going. But following my fleeting thought I blinked and turned the light Kermit Kolored and zoom, off he went, so fast, as if he were never there.
