Cardboard Bird
The Cardboard bird becomes a symbol of post-modern half-life.
Indignant
In a raspy voice
Doesn’t eat anything
Doesn’t drink anything
Protests
Doesn’t touch anyone
Ð retending to be the wind
Handing out money right and left
Imagines himself
Image
A picture of the postmodern half-life
And something else very important
I do not remember
Maybe wings
Could be a beak
Maybe a soul
Exactly
I do not remember
