Life Forms

Bugs that go bump in the night.

There’s this life form in Roswell,NM…and it’s a bug

I think. Can’t see it but it’s loud. up in the trees…so,

yea, and these bugs get together for saturday nite hoedown and when they sing you wonder where the chorus is, but it ain’t there so you think it’s a high voltage line singing but it’s not. It sounds like this see….BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZYANAYANBZZZZZZZZZZZ. You wait around long enough, maybe 10 minutes and they stop..maybe for a breath, if they breath that is. You can’t see “em. It”s mysterious.

I decided if it was just one bug with a big throat then it must be

calling for it’s mate over in China maybe.

Then theres this bird and when it twills, you run answer your phone. only its not your phone. it’s a bird. I had to answer my phone three times before I realized it’s a bird. I had just moved here; every spot in America or the world has it’s own unique style of nature inhabitants.

In Washington all I ever got was CAA!! CAAAAA!!!!!! Caca?

it was dem crows…and George, he was a grouch, he shouted to the crows SHUT UP!! He added some cuss words but they didn’t listen. I didn’t listen to george either. They were here before George.

The crows took the hard bread I threw down and dunked it into the bird waterer pedestal to soften it. How did they know to do this? I didn’t tell them.

In Washington a coon sat on my counter top enjoying a light snack. The five of us all told it to hit the road, but it was enjoying the snack and didn’t hear us until we danced around making threatening movements; it was tame and knew we bluffed and blustered all the while I hoped it would stay awhile. The coon daintily licked it’s fingers then casually strolled out the door as if to say in my own good time I’ll get out.

We had slug races in WA. The slugs were numerous and up to 5” long and a couple inches wide. They were black or brown, slimy and I wondered what their function was in nature except for sitting on my best multi colored Zalia and leaving a mere stem in it’s wake. I collected them in beer dishes. They kill themselves with beer. Maybe it’s the alcohol that does them in. Later I got some ducks then I didn’t have buy so much beer.
