What a pigeon wants

An old woman

feeds pigeons

and the pigeons

feed her with company

when everyone else just

walks by and tries

to avoid the pests

to not get feathers

or shit

or both on their clothes

but soon the pigeons

have their fill

and she is left with crumbs

and even those leave eventually

in wind that’s good

for flying.

Everyone wants

the same thing

and that is to

be wanted

by some thing.
