Would you like to hear our song? asked Bonny and Pablo. Your song? said Blurtso. Yes, said Bonny. Pablo and I have been singing harmony to an old James Taylor song. I love James Taylor, said Blurtso. It goes like this, said Bonny… “The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time…”

 

Enjoying the passage of time? thought Blurtso. I'm not sure I notice the passage of time. I guess it’s like eating a pie. You know you've been eating because you see the empty tin, and there is a sensation in your belly. Or when you walk along the road. You know you’ve been walking because you feel it in your hoofs. I guess the passage of time is physical. Going from fatigue to rest to fatigue. Or hunger to satisfaction to hunger. I enjoy getting full when I'm hungry, and getting hungry after I'm full, so yes, I guess I enjoy the passage of time. “The secret of love is in opening up your heart…”

 

I can understand that, thought Blurtso. I love Pablo, and Pablo loves me, and it’s hard to love a closed heart, so my heart and Pablo’s heart must be open… “Try not to try too hard, it’s just a lovely ride…”

 

Hmmm, thought Blurtso. Try not to try, I'll give it a try. Did you like our song? asked Bonny and Pablo when they were finished. Yes, said Blurtso. It's the best song anyone's ever written about me.
