Let Sleeping Birds Lie

This morning, while I was walking the dog in the 6 AM winter darkness, I nearly stepped on a bird; it was sleeping soundly, hidden in a leaf pile on the edge of the sidewalk, warm and comatose, dreaming of moist soil and wriggling worms, until I disturbed it . . . and then it fluttered off, scattering leaves and scaring the shit out of me.

Hey everybody, look! The little chicken girl is scared of a little bird. He can't handle this, so he cries like a woman! Hahaha!

Look at the big baby! Hahaha. Hey, big baby, are you wetting yourself? Maybe it is time for you to be changed. Hahaha.

Milos laughs at you, Dave.
