Chipmunk Love

The life and times of the chipmunks.

Chipmunk Love

 

Chipmunks only watch and wait

on the ground or in a tree.

They may only change the fate

of an acorn falling free.

 

Chipmunks don’t need to debate

the Sum of Reality,

or engender war, and hate

over its Totality.

 

Chipmunks don’t care if you’re great.

Wealth is their absurdity,

but they mate at any rate

as they chirp in harmony.

 

Someday if it’s not too late,

we’ll gain their benignity,

but if not, then we’ll negate

our right to ascendancy.

love it...and sure wish we could be more like they are....

we could save a few acorns...and have some harmony.

Thanks for your review, jacob! At least chipmunks don't invent weapons of mass destruction, enslave each other, and discriminate against each according to fur color.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

that is so true.

A chipmunk's universe is her oak tree, and her stars are acorns. Chipmunks aren't required to believe in the existence of their oak tree since what would be the use in it as its existence is self evident. All in all, chipmunks live a simple life in moderation guided by their evolved survival instincts. Since chipmunks don't generate personifications, they have no chipmunk dolls for their young, nor do they worship an imaginary personified hand puppet that they believe had made the first two chipmunk pair in a Garden of Oak Trees, all in the image of their puppet. Chipmunks are much more intelligent than us, but that's their secret.
