Snowy Egret
I love the way that an eight year old girl
can tell me It's a snowy egret, as if I should
know a snowy egret, and I should, and how
disappointed she is that I don't, and that the world
is so stupid, which it is, and which she is not, but
it's better to be stupid than sad, which is what
she is, but honestly, the rest of us are sad, too, some
are just stupid to boot. Meanwhile, the snowy egret is
eating a lizard trying to hide in a tree with its butt
sticking out in the air. Stupid lizard.
