Philosophical Wax: A hair product for geniuses

   This morning I woke up to a crazy sound that I mistook for some technological device going awry. It was a high pitched note that disintegrated into something I have no other words to explain except that it was an 'alien like' tone... I ignored this and turned over to go back to sleep, annoyed at what I assumed to be the constant construction and or traffic below my window. I was awoken again by the noise, again I ignored it and willed myself back to sleep, but when I was awoken a third time I decided to get up and put my ear plugs in. This time however the noise was more localized and accompanied by a banging on my window. I investigated further to discover a demented seagull trying to be a woodpecker. It stood on my sill slamming its skull repeatedly against the glass. The poor chaps' beak took this beating for quite some time (I had been ignoring the tapping for a while), amazed at his fortitude,           I crouched down to look at him... he stepped back, looked to the side as if uncomfortable that I had caught him in his irrational fetish. He took a couple steps back, head still to the side. Then with a moment hesitation, as if he was at a point of indecision, flew off. I heard no more space ship noises and knocking on the window for the rest of my morning slumber. Weird bird.
