‘The animals do think’
I was in the desert and a dingo came and lay on top of me keeping me warm.
They came and killed the dingoes. It was shot.
I was given a cat.
This cat liked to be on my shoulders when I was at my computer.
It wouldn’t drink and died.
I had it for ten days.
'People don’t interest me any more.
I want as little as possible to do with them’

‘The earth was formed about 4.6 billion years ago’
