3   animals

living contingently  in the wild    like animals

eating what could be found    like animals

seeing the exact growth of plants    like animals

fearing the night and predation    like animals

communicating with sound    like animals

cloud rain sun stars moon    like animals

using tools from the system    like animals

stone sand grass underfoot    like animals

collecting pretty things   like animals

living with family    like animals

fight   court    rut    remember    like animals

tell tales   make tools   light fires    recall forms    like animals

walk everywhere   use ochre    sing sing sing    like animals

you and me    same    hands feet sense senses place    animals
