involving those pretty birds,
from his book A Wedding in Hell

HEROIC MOMENT

I went bare-assed into the battle. The President
himself heard of my insolence. I was given a flea-bitten
mutt to ride. I rode in the company of crows with a
red plastic pisspot on my head and a doll house knife
between my teeth.
When she heard the news, my mother caused the
Greek fleet to be deprived of favorable winds on its
way to Troy. Witch, they called her, dirty witch-and
she, so pretty, chopping the mushrooms, laughing and
crying over the stew pot.

[here's hoping we all live forever,
how ever long that may be,
but long enough to find
what sets us free]
happily ever after,
~.~
