squirrel thoughts

quick 

nimble 

unerring 

agile 

furtive 

leaps branch to branch 

short explosive jerks 

tail for perfect balance 

so many bare branches to explore 

swaying slightly after landing 

but never in danger of falling 

kinda like Dizzy or Oscar 

scaling the treetops of blues 

and here we are 

bumblers 

so careful and deliberate 

stepping in shit 

time 

and time 

and time 

and time 

again
