A Conversation with a Squirrel.
What’s it like Mr. Squirrel?
To have eyes on the side of your head?
Nature gave me wonderful, stereoscopic vision.
I can see you,
Camouflaging yourself against the oak tree,
Perched on the ugly knotted, gnarl that the tree grew to offer you a chair.
You’re doing a good job of hiding,
But,
My eyes were designed to kill you.
I’m not using them to shoot bullets at you, though,
I’m using them to understand a world where escape is always monitored by my opposite eyeball.
You see,
I don’t have an opposite eyeball,
And,
As a result,
My brain is not equipped comprehend your world,
It can only end your world.
A world where a quick and efficient escape is always an option.
If you can identify the predators,
Mr. Squirrel,
And identify their eyes.
