i recall this as a child *i tried to jar smoke the plan was to release it later as a prank       wowing friends with magician skill i got only a stale smoke smell   at the back of my throat   and a collection of poisonous condensation droplets *which leads me to a further recollection                                         involving a jar *i tried to preserve a dead duckling egg           in a jar of river water even sealed it puffed gases ants became attracted inside the jar sticky decay betrayed *this then popped into my mind *i'd fill a green jar with liquid soap give it a shake and stare deeply i thought it might conjure clues         of my grown man fortune my parents discovered the jar by my bed they threw it away          and called me wasteful *.
