Ever watch a seagull?
A seagull at rest will just stand and look into the ether of the air.
Does he think?  Does he remember or have foresight?
In the winter if he gets cold he may switch the legs he is standing on;  the only reaction he gives to the external world.
Nothing in those lifeless eyes.
Does he get bored?  Can he get bored?
Is there a past or a future for him? or just a never-ending present.
