because he was just a goose/

animated illustration

-page-

a human thing was around

and that's what he thought he would be

so he did/

or he tried

Chapter Three/

Acceptance (animation)

-page-

(missing scene)

-page-

once shiny and new becomes heavy and cold

a weight around his neck

in reflection he can see what he really must be

in life he's only a goose

-page-

with a bow that would say

he was bigger that day

when he knew how heroes lose

with relief and pain

in a quiet refrain

a tuba fell to the ground

/

with his dream in the dirt his steps were free

flapping wings he forgot were there

(over an illustration of a tuba on the ground with a flapping sound about 10 seconds into the page or ideally with eye tracking on the words)

-page-

Not a star in the sky

but untethered geese fly

to a home for a goose gosling and gander
