pigeon in port
my window seat,
on the nine eleven,
breakfast bags
crinkle around me,
hungry commuters
munch and text.
an aisle strutter appears
to my right,
another needy commuter.
quietly investigating
beneath cushioned seats
for commuter crumbs.
leaving the port washington station,
seconds shy of the closing
sliding doors...he continues the search.
doors slide open,
pigeon exits at plandome,
never knowing the trainmans
metallic ticket hole puncher,
winged souls,
travel free.

I really like this one! that's one brave pigeon. I don't think NYC area pigeons are ever scared of people. or train ticket takers :0)
