solving the human problem

the collective consciousness of bees 

sorted it just in time

the dog remembers

dimly, life before uplift

bored by frisbee now

we ate you much
before you were self-aware
you were delicious

after Uplift
dog star took on new meaning
cats were still cool
whales were really pissed

Social Dinosaurs

they watch us

to you or me, a crow

is a crow, but they know where you live

they know all

about you, and your trash

and how you treat your corvid neighbors

in quiet

nest speech they talk of love

but public caws are all about you

and your cat

they see you feeding her

you are on the list and all crows know

in Jonesville

and over to Waycross

in Willow Valley you're known on sight

your lights went

out in a blaze of sparks

shorted by feathered suicide squad

screwdriver

near the opened fuse box

crow ninjas had to pick toolbox lock

nestlings watch

they remember naughty

and nice, they keep _my_ shrubs beetle free

caw!!
