    Default A Musing (not really as poem)

    Today,
    In the prison,
    I saw a tiny little baby sparrow sitting on the wire.
    As I passed by he didn't flinch.
    I returned.
    And put out my finger,
    And touched his little tail feathers.
    He didn't move.
    He may have been shit-scared,
    But I rather like the thought
    That he hadn't yet learned to fear humans.
    It was the best thing that happened to me today.


    [EDIT]
    (it's supposed to say 'Not Really A Poem', how annoying...)

    Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?

    It's often the little things that touch you isn't it Carl, a bit like that sunset I think I told you about. I am a bit scared of birds, so I wouldn't have been able to touch it I don't think.

    Yeah, it's ALWAYS the little things. The little things in life are the big things.

    Certainly a small thing when you really need it is bigger than a big thing when you dont, they are usually more memorable too
