he heard a hawks cry queer
very
different from the cries that awakened him from his sleepthat Pronounced Commanded Cried I am here! I am above you!
secretly
he believed they boasted not without
reason he didnt have
wings he couldnt fly or soar he walked on puny legs
he believed the hawks that touted
himthat circled above himthat cried Look! Up here! that they knew in their raptor birdbrains he
wanted to be in the sky among them fuck in
freefall decouple just in the nick of time
to save themselves their passions from being dashed to death against the earthSpattered then feeding scurrilous insectsfeeding their
despised blackandwhitefeathered brethren scavengers turkey vultures
he loved the hawks predatory natureloved that they didnt settle even though their lives were a hunt their lives were day-to-day and failing they might die
it was their nature
their nature
a nature that puny humans long ago lost the desperate sense the evolutionary will
some of them jabber that they will be happy when theyre turned into machines made immortal
immortal at least until their metal melts their maintenance is ceased their power source is Denied
all machines are not created equal
they are not endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights
at that thought he laughed
MyGawd he loved his bodyloved its strengths despised its fragility
he is human
nothing more
the hawk cried
he looked up through the arthritic branches of a live oak and caught a glimpse of a hawk trying to evade elude a swirl a convoy of blackandwhite erratic turkey vultures
it cried it whined it was confused how it found itself among these denizens this misfit race and not until it took the mob higher and higher and higher and then dropped like a sex stoneplummeted earthbound that it freed itself from their number that had herded it cut off its escape for nine minutes Houdini would have drowned
for nine minutes by his pocketwatch he watchedhe witnessed the drama from its first frustrated cries to its decision to act to its spectacular separation
he was the only human being on the planet Earth who saw it happen
gleefully he shook his head and walking away rubbing the stiffness out of his neck he said outloud How is ithow the fuck do I get tangled up in these draumas
