Life is an absurd comedy

I was riding my bike to work today, when a baby hare, a leveret, suddenly jumped out in front of me

I jammed on the brakes, barely missing the little blighter, thankfully

And what unfolded next is really unparalleled

It was all going on

The drama, the excitement, the suspense

It had it all

As we rounded the bend, and I did my best to keep him away from the highway

Two giant birds of prey descended, and the chase was on

Eventually he doubled back toward the road, away from me, and away from the fence, because running through it wasn't working

Literally hopping full speed, he managed to curve his trajectory away from the road and join up with the path we had just came down

Disappearing from my peripheral vision at some point

I don't know what happened to the birds

I had to get to work

Anyway, so I was at work

applause

...

And

It's the weekend now, and I'm out of town, working on the dream

Planning for tomorrow

Here's what's going on

Might not mean much to you

You've got your own life, as equally interesting and detailed as my own

And in all likelihood, infinitely more interesting and detailed
