Downtown

soft seated pigeon
green light, cars growl and pass
start, pigeon in flight

handsomely wedging
prized asphalt acreage
coin grey sentinel

mist in the meadow
pines to pillars, asphalt malls
steam out of ground slits

gulls weave 'tween towers
sea-smell carried by inland
spices bland burger

'tween footfall and rise
life flash before beady eyes
crunch, soon ants' dead lunch

stream with concrete banks
forager to top dweller
all live alongside

fulfill all desires
peace is the price of your fire,
Welcome to Downtown.
