For Wayne
This is Ollie.
Ollie is waiting.
He won't come out.
Gossie and Gertie have been waiting for weeks for Ollie to come out.
"I won't come out," says Ollie.
He rolls to the left.
He rolls to the right.
He stands on his head.
He hides in the straw.
He won't come out.
Gossie pokes Ollie with her bill.
