is a thing,
common
sense
isn’t a thing.

Great eggspectations
Every day,
somewhere in the
world, billions
of birds sit on
their nests, content
and confident
about the eggs
that they cherish.
If only they had known
The human race
is in the
position the
dinosaur race
was in some
25 years
before the
impact of the
Chicxulub
meteor.
Robotics

better name for

Family ties
One lonely
Wedgetail
Eagle

Get a life
Hard to take
seriously an
imaginary
being who wants
his (yes his)
followers to
be primarily
concerned with
their dead
epidermal cells:
their colour, their
arrangement,
who can see tnem,
and which bits can
be rubbed
together by which
people.
Or beetles
I don’t tread
on ants
carelessly, or
thoughtlessly, or
recklessly, or
deliberately, in
fact I don’t tread
on ants at all.
Believe it or not
Convince someone
to believe in an
imaginary
creature who
lives in the sky
and takes an
interest in
the outcome of
football games
and the purchase
of lottery tickets
and the number
of survivors in
airplane crashes,
and you can get
them to believe
in anything.
My way or the highway
All of us,
really,
have one track
minds.
Some of us,
though,
are happy to
explore
side tracks,
exit signs,
underpasses,
overpasses,
lay-bys,
and alternate
scenic routes.
And some of
us aren’t.
Cockatoo dreaming
To White
Cockatoos, Black
Cockatoos must
seem the stuff
of nightmares.
To Black Cockatoos,
White Cockatoos
must seem the
ghosts of ancestors.
