Pigeons

In your cramped little city

Of highs and lows

Of takers and taken

They’re shut out

With their coo-coo

They’re everywhere you’ll never think to hide

You’ll never let them know

Never let them see you cry

They’re a cramp to call your own

A cramp in your style

A cramp in your side

A cramp to your crayon

In the blink of a smile

In the blink of a bird’s eye view

Pigeons, taken

Why do they still come back?
