1493. which way?


up in the air
waiting for the light to go—
ninety-six pigeons

 


Every time I arrive at this intersection, I look up for the birds. They’re always there. Sometimes they all face the same direction, other times they’re facing every which way. Those birds fascinate me. I can’t tell you why for sure, but I think it’s their sense of community. It’s like a religion—pigeon religion.
