 A Pity, We Were Such A Good Invention by Yehuda Amichai 
						They amputatedYour thighs off my hips.
 As far as I'm concerned
 They are all surgeons.  All of them.
 
 They dismantled us
 Each from the other.
 As far as I'm concerned
 They are all engineers.  All of them.
 
 A pity.  We were such a good
 And loving invention.
 An aeroplane made from a man and wife.
 Wings and everything.
 We hovered a little above the earth.
 
 We even flew a little.
