Gerbils

The gerbils are running in their wheel-
We’ll put it that way.
I’m watching.
Sometimes I have watched with such a heavy heart-
But now…
Look at them go.
I’m happy.
And at the same time I know
It couldn’t matter less-
I also know it couldn’t matter more.
I’d hear them if I couldn’t see them-
But the fog is lifting.
Look at them go.
Let’s go.

John H. Bidwell

Like living in San Francisco and looking down on 101 at night. You wonder where they are all going? And why they have to go so fast. I think the others have missed your point about the rat race.

I lost my taste for gerbils when I heard that story about Richard Gere. I don't know if it was true or not, but it was disgusting enough for me not to associate with anyone who has a gerbil for a pet.

I looked it up...
When Gere heard the confession, the famous pacifist and Buddhist became enraged and attempted to strangle Matthews before being restrained by the night’s other award winners Ben Affleck and Quentin Tarantino.

“I got more grief from people over the years for that stupid gerbil rumor than I did for making ‘The Mothman Prophecies,’ “ Gere told Hollywood & Swine. ”And Cindy Crawford divorced me because she wanted a pet but couldn’t trust me with one.”

running in circles seems to be the thing to do, but, if you just watch then you don't leave a chance for that wheel to just TAKE off....who knows where you could peddle. excellent.
