I live in new york, and i was thinking about the lagoon in central park, down near central park south. i was wondering if it would be frozen over when i got home, and if it was, where did the ducks go? i was wondering where the ducks went when the lagoon got all icy and frozen over. i wondered if some guy came in a truck and took them away to a zoo or something. or if they just flew away.

More From J. D. Salinger

Since early morning he had been swimming in the river, in company with his friends the ducks. and when the ducks stood on their heads suddenly, as ducks will, he would dive down and tickle their necks, just under where their chins would be if ducks had chins, till they were forced to come to the surface again in a hurry, spluttering and angry and shaking their feathers at him, for it is impossible to say quite all you feel when your head is under water.

Slowly, very slowly, like two unhurried compass needles, the feet turned towards the right; north, north-east, east, south-east, south, south-south-west; then paused, and after a few seconds, turned as unhurriedly back towards the left. south-south-west, south, south-east, east.

Cats do what cats do, ducks do what ducks do, and eagles do what eagles, do. if you take a duck and ask it to do an eagles' job, shame on you. as a leader, your job is to help your ducks to become better ducks and your eagles better eagles - to put individuals in the right places and help them reach their potential.

New york is the thing that seduced me. new york is the thing that formed me. new york is the thing that deformed me. new york is the thing that perverted me. new york is the thing that converted me. and new york is the thing that i love too.

Flea-market vendors are frozen mid-haggle. middle-aged women are frozen in the middle of their lives. the gavels of frozen judges are frozen between guilt and innocence. on the ground are the crystals of the frozen first breaths of babies, and those of the last gasps of the dying.
Baby Judging Guilt
Some like them hot,some like them cold. some like them when they're not to darn old some like them fat,some like them lean. some like them only at sweet sixteen. some like them dark,some like them light. some like them in the park,late at night. some like them fickle,some like them true, but the time i like them is when they're like you

Goodnight sweet prince, may flights of devils wing you to your rest.

He loved a book because it was a book; he loved its odor, its form, its title. what he loved in a manuscript was its old illegible date, the bizarre and strange gothic characters, the heavy gilding which loaded its drawings. it was its pages covered with dust — dust of which he breathed the sweet and tender perfume with delight.
Sweet Book Character
Am i being typecast as a horrible person? i don't know. i don't think so. but if it happens, i'd rather get to play that, because there's nothing fun about being sweet. sweet can be so boring, so i'd be happy staying away from that.
