Photo: A rooster (red comb and head with yellow neck, red body, blue back, blue tail and green left wing) in profile holds a standard black mail box (with red flag, down) under his left wing while standing by the side of a two-lane highway. He is made of metal. It is October, but the leaves on the trees visible further down the road have not yet started to turn.
We may wonder what he's thinking. Is he wondering why some member of his harem has crossed the road? Is he wondering what prompted her to leave? Has he any regrets as to how he treated her? We may never know.
And we must wonder, we must ask ourselves, why has he brought along his mailbox to stand this lonely vigil with him?
It's just another unanswered mystery of the highways.
