The poet of this work discussed its composition in his book The Cow Jumped Over the Moon, in which he stated that the inspiration for this poem came from a cloud vision he saw while walking down Bloor Street. The speaker of this poem learns how "time on a knife-edge can pass with the guessing of fragments/Remembered from poets", and one character in this poem kills a bird with a broken wing, asking, "Could you teach it to fly?" Though the speaker begins by describing "sunalive weekends" and "lengthening coltish/Muscles" as he and his companion "cut trails for the Survey", he eventually realizes that he was the one who didn't test his foothold, leading to the title character's fall down the Finger. For 10 points, name this poem in which Bob pushes the title character to a merciful death, the most well-known poem of Earle Birney.
