Canaries

An old man sits
Dry as a moth motionless
except
for the small clean fast blinking of
his eyes
Sending Morse code dot dot dot dash dash dot
A record plays
it plays bird songs
Canaries, Lovebirds and Starlings.
“Grandpa, why do you have records of birds?”
“To get lonely birds to sing.”
Round and round the room
Bird song 33 Rpm’s on an
LP
LP= Long play 32 minutes repeat
Auto-Matic-Ally
Birds die while
Records go round and round and round
The old man sits motionless
except
for one clean perfect flash of yellow
in the white moth like flutter of his eyes.
