Squirrel. Sunday, June 19, 2016. Upper Mountain near the old Telly Savalas house. Hit by a car. Infrastructure priorities and consequences thereof. A neighborhood where people have the money to live in houses that don’t all look the same. Down to the cities in trains. A strangely oppressive environment. Some rudimentary notes on flora and fauna. Do little kids still look for 4 leaf clovers? Do they still rub dandelion heads under their chins? Summers before air-conditioning- the windows all open as people play Rummy 500 on the screened-in porch. Nobody eats until father gets home. All those people are gone. Nothing survives once you leave. I’ll never know what worlds this little grey and white squirrel took along with him. I’m burying these nuts in the hopes that someone in some other season will dig them up. I wish I had more to offer this perfect little animal.
