PIGEONS

Pigeons



























They hover like smog
as you approach.
Smiling hopefully,
like the lovelorn,
their tokens loaded.

Their lunches are not free.

Unfed daily they multiply
like pigeons after bread,
positive leaves echoing
around this precinct
like holiday promises.

But good intentions
do not hold off rain.
