Edit box size: ⇓ More rows Reset to default size ⇒ More columns by W.S. Merwin --- I have been cruel to a fat pigeon Because he would not fly All he wanted was to live like a friendly old man He had let himself become a wreck filthy and confiding Wild for his food beating the cat off the garbage Ignoring his mate perpetually snotty at the beak Smelling waddlign having to be Carried up the ladder at night content ''Fly'' I said throwing him into the air But he would drop and run back expecting to be fed I said it again and again throwing him up As he got worse He let himself be picked up every time Until I found him in the dovecote dead Of the needless efforts.
