Should Ducks replace cars in the grocery store parking lots?

by RN WAGNER

I took this photo just after heading outside of a Dominion Grocery Store in St. John's. I must have taken about 50 photos and drove my friends up the wall as they were waiting in the car honking the horn. The store used to be a historic hockey arena where the St. John's Maple Leafs used to play before some players made it big tyme. I wanted to feed them some food since they were not allowed inside, and come to think about it, I don't think we should be eating most of the food in there anyway. There are more than a ducks/geese flying abilities that poke at our jealousy, it's also an advantage to swim in cold water 24/7 and not be bothered by it. Us humans often enough get cold feet in the department of learning how to grow and eat our own food, therefore our quality of life on all levels goes down the drain of disconnected sustainablity. This very duck was a model citizen who was challenging the space I was in. We were both there for the same thing, surival....and the pro and cons point to duck as the winner. Duck got it for free, I got it for a cost of money and a manufactured positon in society, the consumer, not the grower, not the full-time farmer, rather the photographer who should know better....   RN Wagner, Should Ducks replace cars in the grocery store parking lots?

About:

RN Wagner aka AnOrphansInventory, is a spoken word poet/singer-songwriter/hip-hop artist/community organizer/all ages arts ambassador/film-maker/photographer and HUEman. Through his various means of expression and character, he takes you on a vivid emotional burst of thoughts and imagery, that streams one personal-political hardship after another, into a blender of sobering optimism that shakes the apathetic nature of us all. Originally raised on homemade oatmeal in St. John's, Newfoundland until he was 9 years old, but we guess you could say the egg was created in Newfoundland, hatched in Saint John, New Brunswick, then he moved to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, and then came back to Newfoundland before his first birthday. RN now lives, works, and endlessly volunteers in St. John's since 2007 after living in Ontario for 12 years. Baseball, trading cards, tobogganing, ninja turtles, bike adventures and chasing down ice cream trucks took up most of his early childhood. Then his father (David Wagner) was diagnosed with colon cancer when RN was 7 years old, and things have never been ordinary since.....
