I can still smell the watery milk
from the bottle
when I fed 'Tiny'-
the smell of wet fur
around his little mouth,
bony little hands
kneading the botte.
I was 5 years old.
I suppose he was the very first thing
that I got to
nurture;
very first
living, breathing,
baby something.
There are people
who declare raccoons
to be
dirty, destructive.
I know people
who's very first reaction
is to kill them.
I think they are
intelligent, curious, entertaining,
filled with character.
And so, SO cute -
those little masked bandits.
