Birds

Brian Looney

    Watching the birds in flight, while the people roam the stalls, as if mesmerized by a trick of illusion. Freedom of the skies does not exist.

    Watching the birds in flight. Bridled to the post or sitting on a bench, the birds are viewed without a conscious effort. The animals are hypnotized. Their hearts envy, disbelieve, and then renew their envy.

    Watching the birds in flight. A body, a skeleton so light it rides the countless airwaves. So motionless, they might even be asleep. Sleep, of course, being the purest sort of freedom, how would it be to sleep in the skies? To doze away in motion, reawaken in a new terrain.

    Watching the birds in flight. Maneuvering in place and shifting wind-to-wind by the feel of the feathers alone, completely unleashed. And through simple movements, they may soar indefinitely.

    So the little goat kicks the fence because he lacks the power of flight.
