Instincts in Man turned toxic

Note: Re-edit of “Toxic Instinct. (Written in 1999 and posted on October 25, 2008″

Toxic Instinct (1999)

He is running after her.

He is big, fat and ugly.

She is smaller,

Quicker and much cuter.

 

He is running fast.

She climbs a tree.  He follows her.

Round and round

The trunk of the tree they turn.

 

He stops.

Squirrel girl stops.

She knows his moves.

She smiles:  All is planned out.

 

He starts, running after her..

She climbs higher and higher.

Branches are now thinner and narrower

But she keeps her pace, undaunted.

 

Squirrel guy is now more cautious.

He is not smiling, never did, the grouch.

She reaches the edge of the branch.

 

He is waiting;

He is thinking:

“She won’t dare!  She’ll be back to me.”

“She’ll get bored and tired waiting”

 

She jumps to the next tree.

He shakes his head and backtracks.

 

Many men would jump and fall.

They would.

Their toxic instincts fail their survival adaptive instinct.
