White cube, chrome cage, black mynah bird;
Yellow eye stripes, beak; feet
Perched; scratching, scrabbling,
Slowly rocking; suddenly squawking
‘All systems go, all systems go.’
Haacke’s dream: his intention
‘All systems go’
Of the mynah bird’s volition.
But silence fills the gallery.
The script is written but
The mynah bird
Refused to learn his lines.
