Echolocation

“I find my way around as the bats do—echolocation. I am the next stage in evolution. I shriek and listen to hear the contours of objects. I caress the world with my voice. It is a quaint and frivolous habit that shall one day prove to be mankind’s salvation.”

-M. T. Anderson, The Clue of the Linoleum Ledhosen, 56.

Batty

The baby bat
Screamed out in fright,
"Turn on the dark,
I'm afraid of the light."

-Shel Silverstein, A Light in the Attic
