Were feathered friends kept in jail for aviary trials for binocular views? did one accept favors from younger parrots when art looked caged as seed eaters hopped perch to waterspout, then toothless there was a flutter a bird was released. But if tables turned were men in cages examined by dove eyes, and warm breasts shed feathers for money gifts lavished trinkets whose hand would enter barred retreats who would fly from locked enclosures away to distant suns? Turn of century turn of the key twist of a fate never set free paid for cage exhibits solicitous of retinal views aviary reviews accepted favors a chirp turned to a tweet winged bodies hopped flights froze clipped from the skies. Fly or grounded described in letters an exhibit or flop written for select friends gratitude for a dinner accompanied by a song in a cage muted to silence the captive slept.. once it flew now it flops hops from perch to waterspout toothless.
