Pigeons Of Union Square

 Such Strange Birds.


No particular pecking order,


as they dance--


on spindly legs


for mere crumbs.


 


They are much more honest


than us.


Their beady avian eyes


severely focused


not even a perfunctory nod


to the obvious


band of bobbing beaks


around them.


 


For after all


they are only in it


for the


bread.

At first I thought of Union Square, San Francisco but then I read your bio. and realized this wasn't the Union Square you are talking about. However, I liked this piece and the great wit at the end. J.
