Pelican, a response piece composed by c.soûle. Inspired by Pelican, from the book Carnival Communications, by Zos Mo, published March, 2023.

lyrics

Jeff. Look! That pelican is drinking a beer!

Carl. And he is coming our way.

Pelican. What the fuck you looking at? Like staring at a rummy?

Carl. We wasn’t starting no trouble, Mr. Pelican. It’s just I’ve never
seen a drunk pelican before.

Pelican. Yeah, well, I’ve never seen a sober human before.

Jeff. Calm down, Mr. Pelican.

Pelican. I’ll calm you down, buddy.

Carl. Wow, that pelican can swing.

Pelican. Put ’em up!

Jeff. Here we go, beer guzzler.
(Thunk.)

Pelican. Oh god, my nec—

Jeff. Let’s get out of here.

Carl. Agreed.

Officer. Not so fast, did you hurt Mr. Sisco?

Jeff. I don’t know who that is.

Officer. He’s our local pier pelican and he’s on the ground at your
feet.

Jeff. He started it!

Carl. Don’t say anything without a lawyer.

Officer. Oh, you killed him! You bastard, Mr. Sisco is an under-
cover cop. He’s the deepest pelican we have. I hope they give
you the death penalty.

Jeff. I want my lawyer.

Officer. I’ll see you in court, scumbag.

Court Officer. All rise for the judge.

Judge. Now it’s clear you killed Mr. Sisco, our deepest pelican. Did
you know he had intel on fish schools? Those fish would have graduated on time if it wasn’t for you. They are now riddled with hip-hop and seaweed. They may never see college.

Jeff. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to kill him.

Judge. I’m sentencing you to life, you should be thankful it is not the death penalty.

Jeff. You can’t do this, it was a mistake!

Judge. The sentence stands.

Jeff. This court is for the birds!
