"The peak
of that human pyramid
was that man reaching
for the rare bird at the tip of the tree.
The base
of man in that pyramid
grew tired of supporting the reach
for the rare bird they could not see.
The point
of the story's not the pyramid
collapsed, plummeting, the reaching man.
It's the bird still rare, still free."
After Baal Shem, Norma Farber.
