from Portsmouth... (c)2013pgr (3)The existence of every creature depends upon its ability to not only fool another into thinking that it is smarter than its predator, but necessary for its gain, or poisonous to ingest. Socio-psychological bullshit such as “smarter than” and “more necessary” are of no consequence really in the struggle of life and death, of prey versus predator. The only thing which keeps us upright beings from being eaten by our betters or surpassed in a race against another with longer legs is our ability to trick them. Life is not what we are, or what we do, but what we will be based on what we fool the rest of them into believing that we are, and what in fact we are capable of when that promised moment comes. I work in a warehouse full of snakes, lions, ants and mercenaries. We are Santa’s little helpers. We fill shelves with shrink wrapped toys and move on to the next list. Our supervisor prints the stickers that we place over top of the Chinese bar codes for one main reason; so that the computers at the stores we serve will not have problems reading the pertinent information. Children choke daily on the poison we are packaging, but we make just enough money to stand, listen, respond and sometimes get out of the way of the swinging apes which feel as though they rule our borrowed steel shelved cage and ever teetering house of rotating cardboard boxes. In and out they go as we follow. In and out we throw as they go.
