The Bird of My Existant

Hi

Yes

What is your name?

How is your day?

Those are the words that apparently

are vital for learning a language

only if the owl is saying it while

crashing out after I ghosted

them for the first day.

Then I stay

learning this

for months and months 

and guess what?--

months

(maybe it's years at this point)

I have learned nothing

I'm quite sure because

my friends of the language speaks

lilts and tones that Duolingo never taught me--

oh yes-

most of my grade is 

D

  U

    O

      L

        I

         N

           G

            O

apparently?

I want the language

not just the grade

because

I will never need to know

how the owl is playing chess

or her friend works for the CIA

but apparently (?)

I do in the world

we live in owls are queens

and their young are pawns?

I'd like to know the language

not how a billionaire

bird says it.

Como esta?

I'm quite peeved, thank you very much.

Muy mal.

    Over and over the ride awaits
