The Truth About Tumbler Pigeons (Or Why I'm Afraid of Loving You)


Pigeons
are
peculiar birds...
Some tumble...
they fly
high into
the air

and tumble
backwards...
they are
known
to
have
existed
in India
before
the year 1590...

they are
known
to tumble
from side
to side
or roll
backward
in flight...
many say
it is a
survival
technique...

basically,
they fly
high
into
the sky
and tumble
all the way
down:
BUT
just before
hitting the
ground,
they miraculously
swoop up,
into the
air:

narrowly
escaping
death.

But
the
problem
with the
tumbler
pigeon
is this:

If you
breed
two
tumblers
the
offspring
lacks this
last but
all
important
reflex--

Instead
of
gracefully
escaping
its demise
inches
away from the
ground,
they come
crashing down
only to
tragically
die.

And this
is why,
I guess,
I always
will
be

afraid
of loving
You.
