Bird Bath
A. Minetta Gould

Baby, to be a bird is more than just hip
huggers and push-up Popsicle
bras. did you know that a scientist can
rationally prove the length of a dream to
a platypus. The sonofabitch
dreams for eight hours, erections and all

it's A shirt sexual deviations

because a sparrow can cause the same
erection as a naked woman to
a platypus. The sonofabitch dreams for eight
hours. You are more than a bird
protestor. You are cupping biology books
over your teenage crotch
hiding from cuckoos.

You are a bird.
You are the female Robin.
