aikido the bird

If I had a pet seagull, 
I would set him free 
to be above the law, 
hard to kill even on
deadly ground, and out, 
out,
over the waves. Out
for justice,
maybe.

I would name him 
Steven Seagull, and he 
would be big, fat and slow 
but I'd improve his ungainly 
flap and dive by editing
and camera tricks, 

and I'd set him free.
