SQUIRRELS AND YOUNG LOVERS

 

 

We were sitting

on a park bench

in Center City

watching squirrels

and young lovers

putting on a show

competing for our attention

 

and no offense

to the young lovers

but the squirrels

were far more engaging—

and sincere.

Unique topic - well within your norm ; )

Social animals of the non-human form tend to be very sincere in their actions. They also tend to be quick forgiving. We're so alien to the other social creatures in this way. Maybe those alien astronaut believers are right? Maybe our origins are from somewhere else ; ) We clearly didn't evolve with that sense of forgive-and-forget. That sense of "let me start from the assumption that he/she meant well". When ever I accidentally step on one of my cats tail or their paw, two seconds of sweet talk and they're purring again. We need to be more like that, I think.
