Brick Lizard



Lizard: 
I am a mighty 
Earthling. I think
Unthinkable things.

I: 
I don't understand.
What sort of thought
Eludes itself, and
Leaves itself uncaught?

Lizard:
Here --you are high
Above me as I dart
And crawl-- do you
Fly? Art thou a
bird, or just tall?

  1. I never sat down and thought about it until now, but, yes, all the inhabitants of Earth are Earthlings, aren't they, not just human beings. I like that.

    Another lovely Normaphoto, and poetic thoughts to match.

    1. We all share a star. I'm never less than astonished by that.

    1. Most kind. Photographer's model works for bug-hunting rights. I'm careful where I step.

  3. Quaint interaction. The lizard asks astute questions. I was simply wondering if you're high.

    This made me smile, Geo. For that, I'm grateful.
