Most of the therapy patients had dogs, which I was rather envious of, as I was a large fan of dogs to say the least. The hospital determined that I was unfit for a dog, so they presented me with a parrot. Who would want a parrot? All that the haughty thing did was squawk and imitate my gurgling noises, a result of attempts to speak. “Shut up, Jerome,” was a phrase I’ve attempted to say many a time, without success. I must admit, though, I find it quite hilarious…

beatings, one he could never forget…that the parrot appeared, arrived while he slept, a bird “taller than Jesus, yellow like a sunflower,” a warrior-angel who blinded the nuns with its beak, fed upon their eyes, slaughtered them as they “pleaded for mercy,” then so gently lifted him, enfolded him, winged him away to “paradise” (93).
