IS
THIS
YOURS?
This
vivid,
wing-‐bearing
vision
appeared
quietly
majestic
on
the
sixteenth
evening
of
two-‐thousand-‐and-‐fourteen.
Almost
completely
shrouded
by
the
shadows
of
the
Sydney
Street
vessel
terminal,
it
became
apparent
that
it
was
not
a
standard
bird.
(See
fig.
1)
Unlike
usual
birds,
the
Switzerlands
of
the
animal
kingdom,
this
situation
of
a
bird
was
possibly
involved
in
a
war
of
some
sort.
The
unamused
glare
upon
its
face
revealed
hardcore
thoughts
and
a
bad
attitude.
Bird
experts*
theorise
that
the
individual
in
question
might
be
an
ALBATROSS
since
it
not
only
hasn’t
been
spied
in
this
or
any
of
the
surrounding
lands,
but
also
looks
like
an
albatross.
A
local
sociologist**,
however,
questions
the
legitimacy
of
its
albatross-‐diagnosis,
offering
in
turn
the
antithesis
that
the
accused
actually
sailed
to
New
Farm
via
boat
and
is
only
pretending
to
be
an
albatross.
Regardless
of
its
species,
it
–
like
you
and
I
–
needs
to
be
loved.
Is
this
your
albatross?
Do
you
have
any
information
on
where
its
family
is?
Can
you
be
its
one
true
love?
