Poetry
Think Think think said the bird outside my window this morning But that is exactly what I am trying NOT to do, I replied. I love the grackles even though you'te not s'posed to I admire the white circled eye glossy blue black sheen of feathers they are seen as greedy maybe their behavior reminds us humans unpleasantly of our own. What's wrong with wanting to eat as much as you possibly can the grackles and the fat people wonder? we're hungry today our bellies send a click clack morse code to the brain 'find food fast lest we perish' why do we despise the fat people and the grackles? Is it their lack of self-control? That's dangerous territory The Jim and Tammy Faye Baker story. Who cares about the outward appearance? My mother taught me that it is what's inside that counts. "The grackles steal the other birds nest and throw out their eggs and raise their own instead,' you say. To a Native American that sounds strangely familiar except the grackles don't fill your head with lies about being savages and subhuman or kill your people with blankets infested with smallpox The grackles do it from the very start in utero. (or is it ovo?) This is trouble I get into when I think You noisy beautiful birds Eat the cat food I've put out for the cat I say Prosper and multiply. That's what WE'RE doing. It's the American dream. Meanwhile I'll simplify. |
