An Ode to Bats

I write to you, dear bats,

because no one else will

Everyone finds you unappealing and creepy as you lurk in the dark

Just like ordinary people fearing extraordinary people

You aren’t scary

Maybe just a little misunderstood

and that doesn’t make you bad or evil

It just makes you special

Possibly that’s why I fawn over you so much

because something so hated can be so vital to life and no one cares
