Echolocation

 

 

Bats are the only creatures I know

that find their way in the world

by screaming into the night

 

Others such as I may do it

but with no result

except the screams

 

How silly we must look

to bats and others who understand

and use what nature gave them

 

As we stand with arms haplessly flapping

yelling at the darkness to give us direction

unable to decipher its answers
