I miss opening jars

 


    

It’s always your choice to not believe me, but I’m telling you, reincarnation is real.  I was once one of you. I walked on two feet, had opposable thumbs and could open jars and stuff.  I had a good life.  Maybe not a great one, but it was OK.

I didn’t really live in this part of the country.  In fact, I’m not sure what part of the country we’re in.  I just know none of it looks familiar.  I’m assuming you can read my thoughts.  Nice time to think of that, as I babble on like some parakeet.

I have no memory of how I died.  I barely remember leaving the nest as a young bird.  Mostly my thoughts run day to day.  I search for food and water, I keep a lookout for danger and when called, I help other crows to fend off hawks and snakes.  Anything that threatens our nests and babies.

I like sitting here on this bench, but I’m going to head to higher branches in a minute.  The higher, the better the view.  Besides, I’m kind of out in the open here.  I feel a little vulnerable.  Not sure why, I just do.

See ya.
