Leaf
A leaf was riven from a tree,
“I mean to fall to earth,” said he
The west wind, rising, made him veer.
“Eastward,” said he, “I now shall steer.”
The east wind rose with greater force.
Said he: “ ‘Twere wise to change my course"
With equal power they content.
He said “My judgment I suspend.”
Down died the winds, the leaf, elate,
Cried, “I’ve decided to fall straight.”
~ Ambrose Bierce.
