Something about you seems to me
to be like the eyes of a squirrel
who is eating a fat plum! Sort of
micheivious and giddily happy,
even when you are curled up in agony
on your favorite holiday
and everyone's going out but you
and it sucks. I guess what I am saying
is there's something really pretty about you
and I am not sure you can see it,
and if you could I'm not sure you'd care.
You are just like that. A shy,
unselfconcious little animal,
with the kind of cocky attitude
that can only come from a total lack
of human awareness. Your eyes are round,
I see them even though you keep them hidden,
and they are like squirrel's eyes.
Sometimes you hiss with your mouth,
because you are scared, and at those times,
I will oblige you and run away.

You remind me of a squirrel because
you have a kind of pretty happiness in you
that you haven't ever seen,
because you are too busy trying to find nuts.
Oh, but listen, I can see it!
I really, really want to show it to you!
