I wish I could see the world as the world thinks I see it
disney paradise pink princess bird on the shoulder bird on the head
utopian happy nature child
naïve
ignorant
blissful
I don't, though
I see you, world
blood and guts and animals hurting killing animals and people hurting killing people and people hurting killing planets and plants and animals and every once in a while animals killing people but it's rarely revenge although who could blame them
crows precious sweet innocents pulling eyeballs from sockets of squirrel roadkill
squirrel that I used to know
used to feed
like any other delicately orphaned disney princess would
I wish I could say childhood maybe
rose colored lenses of youth but not really
mostly it was just lots of yelling and sometimes screaming and coffee cup throwing so much coffee cup throwing and I guess that's why I ended up outside where it's quieter
or staying up late where it's quietest
looks like it though from the outside doesn't it
singing communing with nature all hippie free magical fairy witch flower petals and crow shit in her hair big crooked smile wide blue eyes that pretend to know nothing
feels like that sometimes but I promise
I still see you, world
bespectacled pink has no appeal
rather suffer in grit and grief and empty desire and mourn and long for real and lost and ungrantable wishes dropped like shiny pennies into the murky well from way up high on this miserably clear vista
than not know the vista exists

If I were an animal I'd be a mountain lion and I'd definitely be out there killing as many people as possible. Humans somehow managed to take a cruel world and make it even worse.
!PIZZA
People supposedly don't taste very good, probably because of their shit diets, just a heads up. I'd imagine most Americans taste terrible.
If you do turn into a mountain lion I hope you will spare me when I eventually go hiking in the rockies.
Oh I wouldn't be eating them. Just killing them and leaving them to rot. I'd eat deer and elk most likely. If I see you and Pilot I'll spare you of course.
Thanks!
I guess it will be good exercise jumping over all those corpses. And I won't have to keep bugging you about where you put the body.
There is a nest of Carolina wren's in a plant pot on my porch. Four tiny birds just hatched. So fragile. So tiny. I am confident they will be safe - animals do not often sniff around on my porch. Oh but I worry anyway. Maybe it even will be the snake that we rescued from being tangled in netting last week. Cruel world.
An instagram friend was clearing boxes out of his garage when he discovered a Bewicks wren nest. I long for the crows to break into my apartment and build a nest on top of my fridge. Sadly, I don't think that will ever happen.
I hope the snake doesn't eat your wrens. Maybe you could leave him a note. Or a pile of cute squirmy pinky mice because what a world, what a world...
Ha! I honestly am more partial to mammals, and have always liked rodents, so it would be hard for me to sacrifice the mice. The little birdies are doing well thus far though, knock on wood. I will tell the local crows to use the Midnight Caw system to spread the word that you are offering a rent free nest space. The bats might intercept it, but beggars can't be choosers ;)
Yeah, sorry, the pinky reference was a sort of morbid joke. I could never have a pet snake, unless it liked to eat kibble. I like them, though.
Thanks for the Midnight Caw!! Please no bats. They need to stay at the park and eat the mosquitos.
I like a good morbid joke. And I frequently answer to them in a serious way and people don't know how to take that. Have I mentioned that I am socially awkward? :D
The bats said they would only stay in the park if you say abracadabra fifteen times while doing a handstand during the first full moon after the summer solstice. And only if there are fifteen human witnesses. I'm not sure why they like the number fifteen so much.
Tell the bats I am absolutely happy to do that for them, not a problem at all.
My therapist refers to this as authenticity.
I like your therapist.
