/ The Republic of Swans
I bring up past events solemnly
it seems they don’t really exist
See the swans’ powerful wings
if you offend them
they’ll break your arm with a casual wave
on the railings, seagulls practice their droll martial arts
but in the air, they flash their evil eyes
even the sun doesn’t dare show its face
I was once a bird
