Iowa Eyes

Also Iowa Lamps or Greenhorns. The way rural newcomers and persons from the provinces stare for prolonged periods of time at urban dwellers, usually with a disbelieving, gawky incredulity. The gaze predictably derives not only from the usual unfamiliarity with the pace, rhythms and protocols of city life, but also an unmistakable unlettered and unsophisticated countenance and temperament.

Sari and I tend to avoid certain urban attractions moreso in the summer than other times of the year. Places like the arcade, central fountain and the boardwalk are simply not pleasurable with all those largely rural, out-of-town tourists out and about. They tend to stare at the locals with those Iowa Eyes or Lamps as if we were circus freaks or zoo animals.

Black-Eye Bird

That one friend that stays up until 4:00 A.M. playing games and stays up 22 hours of the day.

"hey man, go to sleep and get some rest"
"no"
"why not"
"my sleep schedule doesn't let me"
"how about you change your sleep schedule, don't be a black-eye bird"
".....

no"
