1 + 1 = 1 July 15, 2014

When one hawk . . .
Invites one snake . . .
To breakfast.
As breakfast.
We note that, math be damned, 1 + 1 =1 :
1 + 1 = 1 less snake
1 + 1 = 1 happy hawk
The other morning, we looked out on the back deck and noticed a hawk having breakfast.
Grasped in its talons was a poor wee snake.
When the busboy cleared the table, the sole trace of the snake was its spinal cord . . . draped over the deck piling like a discarded napkin.
Aah . . . that’s the way of the world.
