Letter to the cows
The desire to be an animal, the world as seen by them. How does
it feel if your father's name is "SKALSUMER SUNNY BOY"? You belong to a
group that in the netherlands alone exists of 218324 descendants. As a
calf you learned to share the milk that was yours with thousands of
others. Now you are liable to service.
Like your sisters, you walk your daily dull walk, from ... to ..., to
the meadow and back again. You chew cud, you can sleep standing up, but
to be able to dream you need to lie down. You lie down a lot and
continue chewing.
The following days i will be with you, i will walk gently, try to graze
along, and turn my bottom to the rain, just like you. I resmble a cow,
i behave like a cow as well, i sound like a cow. But my legs, they are
wheels and my skin is not mine but your grandmother's or
great-grandmother's. I walk along and will be milked, i am a social
creature just like you. And scientific research has pointed out that
you see the smartest, not the strongest, as your leader. Well, i have
the same, such things.
