a man taught an octopus piano
he did it in 6 months
it took a little longer
than getting a driver's license
or becoming a cop
not quite as long as a pilot
and way slower than having a kid
so it was hard
sure
it took a lot of fish and crab
encouragement
time
6 months
amazing
it must have been like having a kid
getting an octopus
but it took him 6 months
to feel like an a octo-parent
it takes a captain 3000 flight hours
it takes a vote to become Sheriff
and i don't know how long
it'll take for you
to become a good driver
but it takes time
and maybe after a while
after a while of eating time
to put effort into a job or craft
it becomes a music of its own
is music music to an octopus?
probably
but what it became
at first was a gateway to food
then
an outlet for something that
that octopus needed to understand
what's the point?
