Pizza
https://www.bioexplorer.net/animals-with-best-senses.html/
I eat pizza twice a week, crispy crust and gooey cheese.
Catfish have twenty times more taste-cells.
I touch my newborn baby, soft and fragile.
Star-nosed moles have mechanoreceptors that give them six times more touch sensitivity.
I made pesto with the most aromatic basil.
Elephants have five times more scent receptors.
I love the rustle of leaves in the breeze.
Greater wax moths can hear fifteen times my frequency.
I once saw a rainbow over the Grand Canyon.
Eagles see eight times as far away and see a wider range of colors.
Bats have echolocation,
duck-billed platypuses have electroreception,
snakes have infrared radiation detection,
octopuses have polarized vision.
What makes me think I will understand this world?
Or the next?

Absolutely love the ending of this! Also admire the way you’ve paired the way you experience the world against the way animals in nature do. Brings us humans right back down to earth!
