GULLY THE THIRD
The Hawk Corner Room
1:04pm
He stands, cute
w/ His Big Flat Feet
2 eat peanuts or
cat food
thrown by M(eye) Left Hand —
Today in M(eye) Monogrammed Robe
His Colour —
Eye stood @ The Deck Rail
religiously repeating “breakfast, breakfast”
coaxing Him 2 speak —
when His Beak mouthed The Word
still silent
Eye threw Him a nut
& smiled & smiled
He looked @ Me askance
but Eye didn’t give up —
Eye trained & trained
holding M(eye) Robe closed @ the neck
w/ M(eye) free hand
& lo & behold
He got closer —
Eye chanted “Breakfast, Breakfast”
& He spread His Left Wing
& performed an arabesque
