They amputated <br />Your thighs off my hips. <br />As far as I'm concerned <br />They are all surgeons. All of them. <br /> <br />They dismantled us <br />Each from the other. <br />As far as I'm concerned <br />They are all engineers. All of them. <br /> <br />A pity. We were such a good <br />And loving invention. <br />An aeroplane made from a man and wife. <br />Wings and everything. <br />We hovered a little above the earth. <br /> <br />We even flew a little.<br /><br />Yehuda Amichai<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-pity-we-were-such-a-good-invention/
