we are like cats because we chase shadows
cats, when we sit still and listen
to what the air reveals:
once, we were forest creatures
once, we climbed trees
sometimes we'll feel the bark in our fingernails
     and we scratch

sometimes we'll wake up feeling
     a rear ghost limb.
I have heard we come from chimps.

Well, I disagree.

Beautiful beautiful work on this one! I loved the imagery, the metaphors, well... I loved everything about it. it made me think... it made visualize it, understand your meaning... everything.

I am sorry but I just have nothing more to say... It is just damn good. :thumbsup:
