The other day I passed by Loveland Lake which is next to the Loveland High School. There was a sculpture on the lawn between the lake and school of a football player in accoutrement dating back from the '40s. All around the football player was a flock of geese. Most were lying down. No one was touching anyone else.
I have questions. Were the geese just being companionable? Were they worshiping? Did they consider the man statue a friend, a leader, a team member, a god?
Later when I drove by again, the geese were gone. The man was still there, ready to throw the ball but never quite doing it.
It had been an interesting tableau.

tableau...nice word.
I choose "a god."
You know, that is interesting! It's not that they like people particularly, unless they think they're going to get a handout. Hummm! Contemplate, contemplate.
