lately they’ve been sitting there, staring at me with an
inquisitive look, before sauntering off. maybe they
instinctively know about the vow. i’ve never spoken
about it or written it down, though that’s redundant
anyway since we don’t speak the same language that i
know have. but i’m making assumptions. the dynamics
of our relationship were previously based on the old
adage—the quick & the dead. now they remind me of
eye satellites that move away the faster i try to follow
them. it’s become atomic level observation that always
affects the results. or maybe we’ve entered the realm of
metaphysics. if i mentioned this to anyone they’d scoff
at the notion. laugh me off or ask me if i’ve been taking
my medications regularly. they wouldn’t even consider
the fact that they were here long before i was, or before
any of my kind for that matter, & they’ll be here long
after we’re gone. no one will even consider that this
isn’t our god-given dominion after all, & perhaps we’re
only holding down the fort until nature cleans the slate.
