Jimmy on the street.
he's dressed in camouflage.
what's up,
i ask him.
i almost didn't see you
coming out of
the donut shoppe?
going hunting he says,
while nibbling
on a bear claw.
oh really. what are you
hunting for?
moose, elephants?
he laughs and chokes on
his pastry a little.
ya know,
Safeway has meat and fish
now, i tell him.
no, he says. we're hunting birds.
sounds very dangerous.
no, not at all, not for us.
it's all about the thrill.
the strategy.
i have a new bird whistle
i want to try out.
we hide in the brush,
then blow the whistle.
the doves come flying out
and we shoot them
down.
you can't miss with a shotgun.
the pellets spray everywhere.
then we send the dogs out
to bring them back.
do you want some?
nah.
having chicken tonight.
but thanks.
