homeless
mascot
one city's junk light
is another city's night
game
the soot of cheers
on a feathered, blunted man
who was the
mascot of a team
until he was let go
because a mood went viral
they
wanted a younger owl
his eyes sparkle in the dark
mice nibble
cardboard stars
held fast in his falling apart
size 9 Adidas claws.
