Parrot


you’re squawking
all dry rubber lips -
barbed accentuation
from talon fingertips.

you’re drip-fed
under ochre veneer
and comb-teased bed-head
-all Novocain cheer.

you’re a filthy little cheat
repeat repeat repeat
you’re a filthy little cheat
repeat.

    you are the clever writer, always. wishi could indulge more often, but you seem to be on a different plane these days. am i squawking? i hope not. hard for a fish, anyway. i like the verve of your writing here, the three stanzas, not all dark, but with a wicked little humor, too. from my perch beneath the waves, take care. -silverfish
