MORNING MUSINGS
inspired by rob parrish and his "next to heaven" videolettes, i plan to create a daily audio diary of my morning musings.
for now it's about squirrels. maybe next month, it will be about nietzsche or bunnies.

squirrel put up signs
on the trees and poles in the park.
“have you seen my mind?”
the sign read.
“gray with gyrus and sulcus.
about the size of a walnut.”
“did you lose it
or simply misplace it?”
i asked sympathetically.
“are you asking in
cognitive ethological terms?”
queried the squirrel.
“no, comparative neurobiological,”
i replied.
“because if you’re merely
having trouble with spatial memory,
like trying to remember
where you left your keys –”
“or nuts,” interrupted the squirrel.
“then you’re only missing
your hippocampus,”
i continued.
“i’m not re-doing these signs,”
said the squirrel.
