I SAW A BAT

Detail from Furious Flying Bubblegum. 2009. Lou Carv Flying.

I saw a bat this morning. It was flying above hunting an insect.

I was teaching my class a lesson on working hard. I told them to carefully observe nature. We are just like wild animals. No difference. Lazy animals are ugly, distorted. Like the Vulture. The vulture is so lazy it waits till something dies and rots and then it eats. But that's why it's one of the ugliest-nastiest animals in the animal kingdom. But the Eagle or a Lion-the best hunters in the animal kingdom-are the most beautiful, powerful.
