male bison eclipse challenging bulls by standing in front of their intended female and blocking their sight. but i am wary of the roar that comes from this roadblock. it interests me greatly, the labels on the packaging. the superlatives, like when i said that “you are my favorite” i don’t have a direct object in that sentence, but it is all implied. and if a male is following a female around long enough maybe she will catch his scent in her fur and forget the difference between them. he stands in front of her and she knows, because it is implied. the sun seldom acknowledges the moon. beyond the pasture there is only more pasture. beyond that, there is water.
