Wandering surrealists
release mechanical birds
automata cluster,
snap their little metal beaks
hair triggers hinged
with a clever trip spring
begging for a bit of bug
they chirp for wormy office
like speakers of the house,
carve their faces out of tin.
Sensing a trace of antimony wind,
feathers rattle with the rustle
of dead-brushed brass.
