On Sadness
Sadness has nonretractable claws. There are eight species.
It’s typically solitary, except for mothers.
It is an omnivore.
During the fall, it eats practically around the clock.
As the cold swoops in, it waddles into a den among rocks.
Female sadness enters her den pregnant.
Her blind and hairless cub is born midwinter.
Sadness is a powerful, top-of-the-food-chain predator.
It roams large territories.
Every encounter is different.
Please, don’t feed the sadness!
Do not fight it.
When it charges at you, hold your ground and stay calm.
