Simplus Manus

Simplus manus is curious and playful.

Here is Simplus manus. He can be found in and around his home, from which he rarely strays. Like his neighbours, the groundhogs, he prefers to stick close to the safety of his comfy burrow.

Simplus manus shies away from those that would hunt him down for personal gain and attempt to keep him dependent and in chains. 

He keeps far, far away from the tentacled reach of the official representatives of the Domestication Industrial Complex, and reacts badly to their mouthpiece the mainstream media.

Given the choice, he would rather sleep on a cardboard mattress while free, than a feather bed in captivity.

This rare type is fiercely independent and rebellious by nature. Like a grizzly bear, he prefers to be left to his own devices, and requires very little to maintain a contented state.

Tending toward natural spaces in which to roam unfettered, he can often be found in the wilderness. 

Another favourite haunt of Simplus manus is in the garden.

He survives on rice and beans, lentils, nuts, seeds and green stuff. While omnivorous by nature, the preference is to eat low on the food chain.

He is mostly a solitary creature, although can sometimes be found with others of his kind. 

However, Simplus shuns large crowds, and never, ever lines up for anything. A line or cue is just a systematic structured arrangement of a crowd, and what could possibly be worth that?

Like his feathered friends in the corvid family, Simplus manus pair bonds for life and is deeply devoted to his mate. 

If this resonates, you might be a Simplus manus (or womanus). 

My prediction is that there will be more of us in the future, and I believe the world will be a better place for it.
