Let Us Now Consider Human Speech

Let us now consider human speech –

distinct, one must suppose, from that
of crows who evidently (so the crow
researcher’s record shows), have,

in their caws and quid-pro-quos, at least
an inkling of what everybody else is
crowing on about: they get the gist of what
each corvid undergoes: varieties of signal

fears and doubts, among inimitable
other woes and pieties in crow societies.
But what has that to do with human
speech? Oh dear. Beyond our reach.
