ACCOUNT OF MY DAYS
Sequence: 3
COMPARE AND CONTRAST
there is never just one crow
others are always nearby
unlike light from the sun
his cries are never just thrown away
for whoever to catch for whatever reason
but given in crow code
for crow reasons to silent listeners
who use it for only the purpose stated
this is their great difference from us
who may go to some trouble
to get away from our fellows
so we can shout the things
we don't want heard
and don't understand ourselves
the things that someone
whose nearness is unknown
may just barely catch
and easily misunderstand
in a way that satisfies him
he knows what he needs to
about all those crazy things
other people do
