Tweets and Texts

Creatures chirrup, chirp and tweet
Or warble in their way,
All so that in case they meet,
They’ll know just what to say.

It’s kind of like a human text 
Or email or a call,
Preparing what to talk of next
If they connect at all.

Or maybe all this reaching out
Is just to hear expressed
The sounds that show what we’re about
To set our minds at rest.

Ilene, this is a very deep poem in its own way. You are suggesting we think about the nature of interaction and the meaning of our existence. Pretty potent poem for something about tweets! Smiles!!
