mousey girl who lives in a town

i find that i'm quite mousey, and that i hardly belong in the urban setting. the only reason i'm here is because i know no other way. if i were to suddenly need to live in the forest, i may adapt rather quickly. the forest is kind, but somehow humans walked out.

maybe the caves weren't numerous enough for all of us, that we have to make our own. and it makes sense to build a big cave, like anthills, only geometrically sound so it doesn't topple.

and then we teach our children how to make things - things we probably wouldn't teach another child lest our child is "outpaced", so to speak. then someone figured that it'd make the place better if we pooled out knowledge and taught everyone everything, and let the ones who are better pursue their knowledge.

then came the people, who still needed the same things they need - only they now know who to get to get the job done. "because little johnny jims is the best cooper in town! i swear it, 'cause just the other day..."

there then came the economy, after groups of people of different capabilities came together, and with the economies, they moved the world.



..ish.

and that "ish" is why i am a mousey girl who lives in a town instead of a mousey urban girl.
