an unclaimed parrot
from The Current List Has Finished Playing Hosted by kingo
An unclaimed parrot enunciates "enunciate" and elucerates an anthem passed on to him by KS just before he died A shining sun floats above the wind "heavy things can float it's a matter of faith," says the unclaimed parrot A smallish children with eyes like bees pollinating all he sees sees the unclaimed parrot "This parrot is mine." A children's parrot can't express the sadness at having to mold a mind as shallow as the bee-eyed children Eighty years have passed A parrot claimed and unclaimed living on through loss no teeth to lose enunciates "enunciate" A melody on a breeze under still floating sun that sighs a sigh looses magnetic hands into the wind An undying parrot Commiserates with a drunk who used to be a children with bee eyes but grew old An olden drunk with eyes no longer winged stares at rows of bottles lined up gleaming whistles with wet lips the words forgotten of a dead man's anthem he never understood what the words meant until he'd lost them An unlucky parrot stares eagerly at the man whispers to the wind "I am unclaimed, I stay unclaimed." A curious bartender rubbing ashes from the air overhears the whisper but cannot credit the bird perched in the window Parrot's eyes meet the man's say clearly "I am old, I will outlive you, believe what you will." An unclaimed parrot perches on a streetlamp elucerates his anthem off into the dark
