Magpie on a bough

Tipped his head and said,

"Here in the mind, brother

Turquoise blue.

I wouldn't fool you.

Smell the breeze

It came through all the trees

No need to fear

What's ahead"

Photographer: C'mon let's get a photo of you two together!

Suvo: (Trying to get away) Nah, That's alright.

Mayor Boles: Yeah , let's get a photo for Old City Life !

As the photo was snapped and Suvo was trapped.

Suvo: You know that the artists are suing the city, don't you?

Mayor Boles: That's OK, I'm an attorney.

Suvo: Yes, but it wouldn't be you, it would be Kahn wouldn't it?*
