"I have not loved the world..."

                                   HOW WE WILL ALL END...probably coyote bones

so someone said that there are too many foxes in the desert...but the only animals that eat the foxes are the coyotes and they are able to be killed all day and night every day of the year...the only animals that eat the coyotes in the desert are the wolves and they have been killed relentlessly for thousand of years...so a balance must be found...i awoke this morning to hear the fox neighbor yelping around the truck...i lay there in " beggars tomb" and after a few minutes the fox trickster moved away...probably thanking me for the water i had left in the bowl...then the raven began to caw caw caw in the nearby tree...i dropped the tailgate (yes a new tailgate!) and there was the raven couple where they like to sit in the top of the small tree vocalizing...i crawled out of the tomb and put on my desert coveralls and moccasins and they said goodbye and flew away...nice to have neighbors who are concerned about you... i figured i would walk to the bathroom and look in the mirror and comb my hair..but i dont have a bathroom or a mirror and the hair aint much either...i crank up the stove and heat water for the tea and then heat up the sauce-pan to toast the English muffins...tea and a slice...ate the banana just minutes before it was too soft to eat...new reptile found in Madagascar a tiny chameleon...just big enough to perch on a fingertip..."Brookesia nana" is the scientific name...they found a male and a female...may be the smallest reptile in the world...   

"I have not loved the World, nor the World me;/ I have not flattered its rank breath, nor bowed/ To its odolatries a patient knee/ Nor coined my cheek to smiles-/nor cried aloud/ in worship of an echo."   Byron
