He saw it all, day to day.
And the glorious thing was, no one ever saw him back.
Birds and small wild things went about their business
with seriousness and intent. Humans ridiculously anthropomorphized all other
creatures without even realizing it.
Birds did not sing out of joy. They were announcing
territory boundaries or mating availability.
Squirrels did not frolic with abandon. Well, maybe a
little bit. Squirrel intelligence was a crap shoot.
Humans were actually the least human of all, when they
thought no one was looking.
The old tom cat narrowed his eyes and disappeared into
the shrubbery.
