Re: Sometimes walls and cages define our safe space
I wouldn't actually worry too much about a visit from the "landlord." He/she/it is probably having way too much fun watching us, observing us, and laughing at us. Hard to evict or even reprimand someone that gives you such a consistant supply of bizarre yet humorous entertainment!

Sometimes walls and cages define our safe space
and keep out the hands that poke and pet and pry...
And as to visits from the landlord... not convinced that's really what we want.

Re: Not bad. Love the last line!
Yeah . . . that sounds like a Twilight Zone episode. More and more I'm beginning to believe that the entire human race is nothing more than an experiment by some clever but shifty aliens. Each "group" on Earth was probably plucked from one intergalactic planet or another and assembled here simply for
someone's amusement. How else could we have ended up with so many different races, so many different forms of government, so many different languages, religions, monetary systems or beliefs or customs? Every once in a while, look up at the night sky, with it's many stars, many planets, many galaxies, and stick out your tongue in defiant disgust. The feedback may be astounding! Maybe we'll get a visit from the landlord!

There was a sci fi story on TV, maybe an old Twilight Zone, where humans were kept in a zoo by some aliens on a distant planet. I've sometimes wondered if we weren't all living at the bottom of a giant dome, under observation and tested from time to time. Other times I've been darn sure of it.
