If I were offered the choice

of possessing a soul
or a tail,
I would devote
the rest of my life
to the practice
of wagging.

  1. What if having a tail was a sign of having a soul? If you have one you have the other? If you don't have what can be seen you don't have what can't be seen.... ?

  2. Well - not quite! There are tail-less apes (Bonobos, Gorillas...) who are very holy creatures.

  3. If humans ever had souls, they mutated (or 'evolved') into keys and locks.

    And, of course, human sperm - the most evil creatures on the planet - have very long tails.
