I love laying in my hammock!

1) A man is laying in a hammock on a farm, most likely, realizing he has made a mistake somewhere in life. He even finds that the poop around him is doing better at life than him.

2) We know he's not really a 'moving' character. Time around him is passing while he sits and simply observes.

3)

• The cowbells passing: 
• he hears them grow farther away-time is passing and he's not doing anything
• he is on or near a farm
• He is on a hammock
• it's warm outside-could be summer
• there is life-the butterfly, the poop blazing up, the chicken hawk
•  He is lifeless and alone
• the house is empty
• he said he wasted his life

4) It tells us the setting: William Duffy's Farm Pine Island, Minnesota. The mention of the hammock is there because he has time on his hands to take a break.

5) The natural world around him is growing and full of life and color. It is summer most likely.

6) It starts out smooth, colorful and with life; morning. Then things begin to get less relaxed and more filled with lonesome and failure; afternoon. "And darkness comes on" and he is lifeless; night.
