My life as a Jay



My life as a Jay


alighting for a short time
I am all head
my nosy beak 
with sharp movements
scanning for danger
don't come anywhere near me
you bastard
for I have intimacy issues
that only another jay could fix.
A super jay
high in the autumn beech
I see you, before you hear me,
screeching like last night's incident
at the mental hospital
hand me my gown of pink, blue and black
and keep those medicines
away
from
'borderline'
Jay
