canned

if I had a friend we could be

good cop and bad cop

I don't mean to cut my friends off

in the middle of their sentences

then tell stories without a real end.

I am just used to people talking over

me whenever I try to talk over them.

I would like to blame it on that

people are nice where I am from,

but aggressive in speaking.

another thing I do,

I give out advice and don't remember

what I said, but now and then they listen

Then I say, oh shit, I said that?

What else did I say?

most people only ask advice when they

know what they know what is coming so

it reassures them . I've been there, so can you.

"maybe i'm not going crazy"

we half say and half sing, on the walk home,

"maybe we all feel this way."

like watching Bats in the sunset

its light out but their eyes are shut

because they don't need them

bats eyes are perfectly functional

and really not bad at all said an

expert at the museum of ornithology

at VINS wildlife reserve in Quechee

it took us forever to build radars

and they can echolocate

So,

when bats become highly evolved

will they read or have scrolling sonar

imprints of letters in words, or symbols?

Could that be done with a 3D printer?

Or will they just settle down and open

their eyes to what is really going on,

ordinary peoples' problems sometimes

stop them from seeing anything at all.

Are they surrounded and can't see out?

I like watching what people do

especially when they change

directions midway through walking

they always point in the direction

they have turned around to walk in

exactly where they came from

they just, forgot something?
