Too Big To Fall Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Too Big To Fall



Too big to fall.
Daybreak from cobalt to light blue the first sunrays
hit the west wall, and grey wall becomes brilliantly white.
The sun kept on shining the wall turned brown and
finally self ignited, and since it was a house wall the house
burnt down, it took the fire truck one hour to get to there.
But out of the ashes raised a ruffled cockatoo with a lighter
in its claws, flew to the neighbouring house, where it sat
flicking it. A police officer tried to shot it, but missed,
the bird flew to the forest and many fires began, the arson
stopped, it was said, when it ran out of lighter fuel.
Everybody blamed the parrot and hunted it to extinction
as the sun was too big to obliterate.
