In exchange for peanuts
Expectant for gratitude
in exchange for peanuts, crows will cheerfully bring us pieces of garbage as gifts with absolute confidence. my cat once gleefully left me a dead mouse as offering under the Christmas tree and looked at me awaiting gratitude.
and who are you to hide your contributions, no matter how mediocre they may seem. why would you deny yourself the chance to curl quietly making in a chair, to sit loudly laughing around a table, to perch momentarily tinkering in your own kitchen and give away your gifts. in exchange for a peanut, expectant for gratitude.
