Zen Cormie Capture
Unpin the fabric,
still your breath; steady your hands.
Yes! Cormie in reach!
Obi-Don whispers:
"Cormorants! Jump into this bag."
Capture is complete.
Cormorant asserts:
"You will live to regret this."
Mutilated hand!
A bird in hand is
worth two on the nest, unless
those birds are untagged!
