Assumptions about intelligence



Sometimes, having learned more 
About the intelligence of the octopus, 
I wonder about all the other creatures 
 We are so quick to ignore or slot into categories. 
Is it possible, for example, that a flower,
Like a child, might be curious, and attempt 
To explore a knothole, 
Or reach out to open a door?
