Pigeon 152 by Susan Gilbert
it very gradually occurs to me
that everybody in the park looks the same
There are the usual activities going on
people are pushing bikes and buggies
a pair snogging in the long grass
joggers are jogging by
a park person is planting petunias
but their faces are all the same.
They are all just humans
apart from their varied plumage
all the same
A withered human perched on a bench scatters corn for pigeons
The planting person is uncovering leatherjackets
three different types of earthworms
suddenly hungry I move in
BARKING
big human with brown dog
big ugly dog
BARKING
I spread my wings
glad to have wings
fly up into this tree
there are good branches
other pigeons perching
many beautiful pigeons.
Dog under tree
BARKING
I shit on dog
