Earth Views from a far
By David Huff
I do not understand why my personal staff does not notice the sleek multicolored creatures that follow them around like strange wingless birds all the time? Nor do I understand how those birds just seem to follow everything that my court of fools does with their big greenish yellow glow in the dark eye as they float around just above their heads or down at their feet.
Many of my staff appears to have more than one that watches them at any one time of the day or night. Some of my staff members seem to have several that chase them around hour after hour never getting bored by their average duties and travels that I make them participate in on a daily basis. Sometimes they do really mischievous and hurtful things like tripping my servants, taking their belongings away from them, or turning the knobs on that thing that makes food that I love so much. Yet, my staff seems to be oblivious about what is being done to them in front of their open eyes. Those poor simpletons; they have no clue about the real reality going on right under their feet and above their very heads. You would think that they would be able to understand what is going on around them, but I guess when you are a lower life form you tend to not be as bright, at least not as bright as myself. I guess that is why they are my staff, and that is what they deserve to be I feel.
As for me, they seem to be quite happy to leave me alone as I stretch out on the couch; but sometimes, I just lie around and snuggle with my girl friend, and we both watch and laugh at their timely escapades in humorous mischief that they conduct without concern for the individuals well being or conscience. We tend to get real entertainment out of watching them float here and there, and wonder why they make not a sound as they float around in my lavish castle. It is quite funny how one strange bird looks just like the other one, but they do not seem to have to be the same color. However, they all do seem to have some form of writing on their side that I do not understand. One looks like this "earth mischief seven", and others have writing that looks like "earth view news", or "Steven's comedy broadcast", and they seem to follow this person and that person from one room to the next without any hesitation in their decision or deviance in their flight.
Somehow they seem to just float out of the walls and ceiling unimpeded by the solid mass that stands in my way if I wanted to leave. At times, I try to slap them out of the air as they slip in and out of my king like reality. But, they are just too fast for me as they rise up the wall where I cannot reach them even if I jump as hard as I can. Either way I always seem to come up short on my attempt to catch one. I sometimes consider what I would do if I did manage to knock one off its high horse? I also consider if I am just not interesting enough for them to watch me, but then I remember the mean things that get done to those other unlucky creatures that are interesting enough for them to follow around day after day.
I guess I am almost happy that they do not care to watch me like they do everybody else in my court of fools. I mean how interesting can it be after all to watch me clean myself, sleep, chase cloth mice, and purr?
