the Show She turns to smile in silent communication thought flows between twins. Bough pulled aside both peek into meadow regular adventure begins. Outsiders are here gathered about their odd paths singing and such in alien way. Twins, as always, puzzled why are these beings here again and again; on the same day? Young ones always joyous odd, hard spheres tossed about fascinating, this peeking in. The Elders say, “ observation” all proper and scientific “just fun”, add the twins. Bipeds are running now clumsy, mysteriously in order their others watch and cheer. It seems oddly intelligent these outsiders repeated actions whose meaning remains unclear. Some of the Clan say, “mating” others, “social, economic, religious” Council debates loud and oh so long. The twins are almost convinced it is a game that they play 'cause each starts with a song. In support of this theory they point to the patterns... diamonds, uniforms and gloves. Still the Elders reject “no such simplicity” they proclaim “must be either worship or love!” “If only we could understand their language”, muse the twins “then perhaps,we would know.” For this delicious moment, today... the twins are content to peek and marvel at the show. ~~~~~~~~~~  |
