squirrel

a squirrel got really close this morning
he, or she, seemed incredible casual with my presence
i walked by and our eyes met
the squirrel was perched on a limb level with my head
the limb reached out across the path
i stopped as he peered into my eyes
he was motionless
a car went by and slowed a bit
they were probably wondering why i was staring at a squirrel
or,
why he was staring at me..
for a moment I felt as if he might jump to me
i didn't want this, so,
i asked him what was up,
he didn't say anything,
he turned and went further up the tree..
crazy deal..
can you tell i miss my wife, alot!?
