A seagull tired of flapping its wings
got on a train without a ticket
It chose a risky ride
perched on top of the coach
It could flap its wings anytime
and fly back naturally
but the ride
the fresh air
the rush of velocity through the wind
would be beautiful
Maybe it needed a torque to fly
a little push
to shrug off its laziness
a little motivation
to reach its destination
without much effort
And even when the train stops
if it poops on someone at the platform
it wont have to face the trouble
of standing in court
