The Tall Metal Monster Of The Field
Standing as tall as the tallest giraffe but moving much slower, it spews out liquid over everything near it. The sound it makes is soothing and will pull you into hours of viewing. The victims below it are silent for they have grown accustom to this treatment. Inch by inch the tall metal monster crawls on and on. From a distance the movement is almost impossible to notice. But, before the night is over it will have sprayed its liquid on everything on hundreds of acres. The acres grow into miles but the metal monster doesn’t care. There is only one way it will stop. It must complete its task.
It does not matter what is on the field, soybean, corn, peanuts all get the same treatment. The only joy this monsters has is when it has sprayed everything it walks over. The tall metal monster of the field has done its job.
I see these 'monsters' every time I drive home to Alabama.
