What Gives Us Away

Nobody likes to be studied too closely, under the microscope we all display a ridiculous, multicellular idiocy. What gives us away is how we squirm as the light seeks us out, or scurry behind any rock-like molecule to fearfully disguise being caught by surprise. Unlike the noble monkey and ape, who know not the concept of foolishness, they do not shy away from any prying eye - are not ashamed to be what they are. We, the unchallenged and unhinged, avoid at all costs to be studied even by the flea or ant. Look up humanity, look to the sky there are beings up there, their ships are spyglasses, their point of view is to study you, and when they figure us out they will magnify our intellect, examine it close until it gets large enough to be squashed.
