an owl just bellowed in the distance

i love it
bioacoustics stuff
not hoots, nor twit twoo

sensory imagery
i hee-hawed 
to the office 

squamates and development hell
floods of tears and memories
of hungry hungry hippos

i bellowed in the closeness
the closeness of you 
you go in this direction, i go in that, and we must meet.
(belt).

Postman Pat's cat is called Jess.
how cooler and grittier it might have been, had it
been called Jesse James
