Birds
by
Nephelococcygia, a metropolis in air,
Zeus' cloudy nightmare,
Unlikely a bedroom scare
From a sparrow’s wild rare.
A respite between heaven and earth,
“An avian heaven�, says Pisthetaerus,
Flirting with the nightingale’s mirth
Hoopoe consents ; what a fucking putz!
Sacred chants float over the lustral waters,
The birds join the jubilant choir,
The peacock dancing in a tutu simply backfires,
It’s not an ass-whooping Le Ballet Noir!
The pelican, the spoon-bill, the horned-owl, the teal, the stormy petrel and the titmouse,
Solemnized the laws of the land,
Harboring the Olympians grouse,
I rather be chained and canned.
Messiah to Bitch Dependency,
“Birds over bitches!� proclaims a pimp called Slickback,
Pleading for wings is a bitch tendency,
Cloud-cuckoo town- a two-cent hustler.
Rainbows descent on womanly divinity,
“That’s a bitch!� , yelps Slickback,
Iris, messenger of Gods, heart of Zeus� affinity,
“That bitch’s gonna fuck y’all".
Perching on twigs, the birds laud the forgotten heroes,
A choral interlude, a cry for pigeons,
Howl the pigeons preening their Afros,
“You came to the wrong neighborhood, motherfucking wigeons!�
A cry of an amateur,
Verses may not rationally click
Least an award clincher,
I care a fuck ; I just blasted a stick!

This is an award clincher and you are not an amateur.
Your review makes me want to read Birds/Clouds, just so I can see what inspired you to such delicious verse. And maybe I could be inspired, too.
For me it conjures up images of both Athens and Manhattan...Manhatthens.


Just out of idle curiosity, what is “That bitch’s gonna fuck y’all" in Classical Greek?"
Doesn't that line appear at the end of Lysistrata?
