Hear the barn owl screech

Hear the barn owl screech

The boy tosses his cigarette to the ground and
prepares the lifeless drone
Unclipping its wings like a pet barn owl
He dons the glasses, synchronizing his soul
causing the owl to leap into the air
with heavenly ascent
Stretching its wings, free, magnificent
It sees rodents in the field
RODENTS. I see those fucking RODENTS
gnawing our food
soiling the land with their
explosive droppings
I must FEED
They will have children,
then children of children,
then children of children
of children

The owl swoops down,
majestically with perfect precision
BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
At the last moment the rodent turns
and locks eyes with the owl
The rodent is gone
so is the owl
as the boy coldly prepares another
