It was a uniquely exciting moment when I realized
the object on my friend Rachel’s deck was a deflated rubber turkey and
not a deflated beach ball painted to look like meat. She had been using it as a
flotation device at the beach. “I don’t know what’s wrong with it,” she said,
“It won’t inflate anymore!” I picked it up and blew into its rubber valve as
hard as I could, but the valve wouldn’t open and it made my face hurt. It also
made me a little dizzy. I stood there swaying slightly and recalling the
intoxicating scent of the bin of beach balls at the Fred Meyer near the house
where I grew up. The turkey still lay shriveled on the deck the next morning.
The light an inflatable turkey makes the least sense in is daylight.
