Eagles and Humans

I heard that when eagles mate,
They will call each other,
And then show off with swoops and cartwheels in the air,
Finally, they fly high and lock talons,
From there they plummet to the Earth,
Only separating seconds before hitting the bone-breaking ground.

That's not much different than humans,
We tease and talk to each other,
Show off with handstands and punches,
Then we lock fingers and free fall through the most exciting years of our lives,
Only ending in death or divorce.

For eagles, it's only a few minutes,
For humans it's decades.
