pigeon

So... pigeons are really starting to piss me off cuz they're always getting in the way and walking around with their heads bobbing; strutting their stuff like they're all that. So since they only ever fly out of your way if you seem like you're going to end their life, i like to give them a bit of a scare.

Today, as i was walking to school in an exceptionally bad mood because of the midterm that i have this afternoon, i was came across a particularly stubborn pigeon who just stood still in the middle of the sidewalk, not moving with it's ass facing towards me, as if to jeer. As i got closer, my urge to kick it just got bigger and bigger, and by the time i was right next to it, it had still not budged. I launched my foot towards it. It still didn't move, and i had to pull my leg back at the last second so as to not actually ruin its life indefinitely. Angry because i had lost the game of chicken, yet simultaneously confused, i walked in a detour around it. As my viewing angle changed, i realized that the pigeon had only one leg that it stood on, and it was doing so with difficulty, shaking from strain. No wonder it didn't head bob out of my way; it couldn't.

I tripped and fell up the stairs on my way to the library. Karma at its finest.
