    A message from the animals after the humans exited

    For a short while
    man was in charge

    with TV shows and youthful rubbish
    and Religon

    also as a solution many Wars were fought
    for what else could you do without them

    and then

    Disease took most
    and the wars did for the rest

    and now

    We roam your steel towers
    scavenging the tired relics,
    fanged strolls down the wide avenues
    delicious slabbed plates went
    first devoured hours after,
    we reconciled quick with the dogs
    (even the impractical little ones - your
    design) their sinful ancient collaboration
    forgotten,
    cats are still aloof as ever
    well they used to be tigers,
    homes and sewers echo
    their lonely calls,
    unaccompanied subways we
    learned to use,
    a razored fox lives
    on a skyscraper - by himself
    cracked molars of a construction site with
    an earthdigger teethy smile frozen
    never again to strike terra!

    and we don't miss you.

    Wonderful! I could have read more and more -- I loved the concept and the imagery conjured was poetically satisfying!
    Ya done good, Tony!

    It kind of reminded me of what might happen when water levels rise and the condos in Miami have crocodiles as tenants.

    Hopefully. I could go for a change (although, crocodiles are not my first choice)

    Careful, lest ye wind up with skunk infestations...
    I have a friend in Australia who cannot believe what he has heard about skunks... i.e. he asks "they CAN'T smell that bad... can they???"


    These furtive night dwellers do INDEED smell that bad... So, personally, I'd take a croc over a skunk, hands down!!

    Mermaids would really be cool coming up to me from the rising sea. Blonde. Cool. Swirling her tail.
