"Can a bird return to its nest
Who is not a fledgling yet?"
---Its mother knows best!
"Without a wind to lift it up
Nor its tiny wings to flap;
Has the bird even grown up?"
"Why on earth did it fall,
for god's sake,
When it's just about
to wake?"
I asked too many a
free falling sparrow
And they affirmed
a simple tomorrow.
Just as convincingly as
the dead pigeon, at hand,
That kept itself freezing
in an activist's hand!
