"Awareness."

00:00:05.950 --> 00:00:11.530 align:middle line:84%
Among the burrowing owl's scraps
of carpet and tinfoil tucked

00:00:11.530 --> 00:00:15.610 align:middle line:84%
into the humid straw,
the hoard of cow dung

00:00:15.610 --> 00:00:20.740 align:middle line:84%
is especially prized as
it attracts dung beetles.

00:00:20.740 --> 00:00:26.170 align:middle line:84%
The owl watches for hours,
revealing a tool of attraction

00:00:26.170 --> 00:00:30.430 align:middle line:84%
of which those clever
creatures may not be aware.

00:00:30.430 --> 00:00:33.610 align:middle line:90%
What, then, is awareness?

00:00:33.610 --> 00:00:36.940 align:middle line:90%
Connecting shit to consequence?

00:00:36.940 --> 00:00:41.770 align:middle line:84%
The flicker that links,
say, chlorine to climax,

00:00:41.770 --> 00:00:46.710 align:middle line:84%
or who consumed whom
at faculty picnics?
