protected species

i read

about the man in prison

for breaking

a few

Eagle eggs, nestled

in a tree

close

to the pro choice

clinic.

he pleads guilty,

but says,

they weren't quite

born yet.

they weren't Eagles,

but the judge

slams down

his gavel and says,

that may

be true,

but if you had left

them alone,

they were going

to be.
