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.

    My existence is not for others

    it does not heal the wounded 

    my words are costume, foam steel at most.

     

    I exist to live a life that continues the cycle

    I'm a mirror of society that has painted
