Special Comment


 
 

They want to march the stowaway
racing pigeon in front of a firing squad.
Whether or not he gets a blindfold
is still under discussion.

The news anchor’s commentary begins:
“Bad things happen in the tailspin
of the 21th century…” True. No one
makes two music videos for a song 

anymore. I’m old enough to be adult
contemporary. Jill won’t be coming back
from the animal shelter. My name
appears on many magazines I don’t open.
