You work from home long enough you have to start amusing yourself in novel ways. I watch the squirrels who hang out in my backyard. There was this one squirrel, he’d hang out in the Y of a branch that kind of stuck out in space. Maybe he was cooling his balls. I called him David Bowie because he’d hang out in space.
David Bowie disappeared. Cat or truck or bird, probably.
I liked to imagine that he’d think of us, sitting on his branch. I’m not sure such a thing is possible. Squirrels have black eyes. They don’t communicate intention with their eyes. You look at a squirrel’s eyes trying to get into understanding his motivation and he is completely incapable of communicating on that level. From the squirrel’s perspective we are Lovecraftian Gods, obviously.
I really miss that squirrel. No other squirrel has moved into his territory so the backyard is kind of boring these days.
