If I Had A Bird

by Corey King

I wouldn’t clip his wings.
I would let him sing as he pleases
And fly as he does
As intended.
Why the fuck would you clip the wings of a bird?
I understand, you don’t want your bird to leave you
But the most admirable feature of a bird
Is flight.
Birds fly.
If I’m not mistaken
People have
Paid money
To surgically ‘soften the bark’ of their dog.
Why did you buy a dog?
