I am a skunk. I live deep in the forest. My age is indeterminate—we skunks don’t keep track of that sort of thing. I can say that I’m old enough to have forgotten most of my early skunk childhood, but not so old yet that it has all started coming back to me. I grew up in a comfortable burrow beneath a knoll located in a wildflower be-speckled clearing. At the time, it was considered one of the nicer parts of the forest. 

My mother and father were staunch supporters of the Raccoon party. Raccoons pretty much ran the show for most of my life. The Deer are now in charge. Neither the Raccoons nor the Deer do what actually needs to be done, and on this point most woodland creatures can agree. Our bipartisan system is beginning to show cracks. I’ve met rabbits who are pro-hawk, a bear who expressed sport hunter sympathies, and squirrels and chipmunks who have banded together into a formidable Green/Marxist bloc.

I’m registered as a supporter of the Deer, although, my ideological affiliation most closely coincides with the chipmunks and squirrels. It is apparent to most animals that both the Deer and the Raccoons are in the pocket of Big Human. Our forest is beset on all sides by the steady creep of urban development (my aforementioned childhood knoll is now a retail center parking lot). The Raccoons claim the human problem is simultaneously nonexistent and that it will solve itself; the Deer believe we still have plenty of time to engineer a solution to force the humans to relent.

We all go about our business as if no great change is afoot: we dig for insects, we munch the grass and herbaceous plants, we drink from the burbling stream. The gentle stirring of the wilderness lulls us into a placid forgetfulness, a bucolic reverie that is only dispelled by fluke currents that snatch up and deliver into the forest’s midst some singular, noisome moment of human tumult. All animals awaken then to the reality of a situation in process, each of us equally cognizant of the revolutionary pulse underscoring the static quietude of the wild.
