Magpie

 

              Unguarded               once a yes   
              squeaked out
              despite the strut    the natty suit
of black and white

              Your usual call
glottle
guttural            machine-gun imitation
                n- n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n

            Its variation
            krrr   krrr       cold-world-
rattlesnake or
            krrr  krrr            cold-war-
agent             nyet              double-
agent
          transmitting lies     or could it be
                            the truth  da – 

nyet     nyet     nyet     nyet
