bobos

nobody would like them if they didn't have feet.
they've got beady yellow eyes (truly), spotted brown and white heads and awkward blue leggings that they pop upwards, delicately, to get her attention. but lots of birds do this. many of them attract womanly plumage to the often more flashier version, of themselves. so that the females can look at the other and say, i am beautiful?

bobo means stupid in spanish. he is a clumsy fool on the earth of the coastal seas, but with a dive into depth, he is as graceful as any penguin you ever saw. if you've seen one. maybe at the zoo once.

this is the dance of the blue-footed booby. fascinating creatures of God. he cocks his blue foot upward toward the sea and she sees its blue, like he. it's blue! it's blue! not red! not red! i am no impostor booby. from the coasts of california to the islands of galapogos! i am blue. here for you.

he arcs his back, his torso upwards too, presenting himself. a high pitched whistle emits from him. his feet bounce at her. she wobbles her feet at him too as if to say, yes, i think i am blue too actually.

i pad my feet with the ground. the earth is mine.

beautiful blue boobies.
