Are Eels Aliens? I Feel Like They Might Be Aliens.

A lover will kiss your face and tell you it’s all okay

An employee will kiss your ass and praise you

A parent will support you no matter what

And a pet will love you for simply dropping a fry

A friend will slap you upside the head, call you a twat waffle, buy you a beer and give you an ear when you need it

They will be there

Not out of obligation or genetics

Not because “it’s expected of them”

But out of the sheer fact that this existence enjoys your existence

This cluster of atoms found their way to your cluster, across a googolplex of other clusters

And decided your cluster was their favorite
