how could you have known that
the seagull you shot went by the name
of jonathan livingston and he was on his
way back to his flock with the same ideas
that you were trying so hard to render in your
play but that is the true absurdity of life to kill what
you love most even as the world demands sacrifice
just for the sake of symbolic acceptance for a summer.
