- feathered smudges like a floor spatter from Jackson Pollard covered the lanes underneath an old L&N railroad overpass where flocks of pigeons used to **** from above tiny pellets were sprinkled along the rail banks & eager beaks pushed aside large stones to pick out these "yummies" which slid easily down the throat causing vacant, fixed pupils it is about thirteen foot-six inches from the bottom of the bridge to the street, hundreds of detached eyes looked aimlessly from the pavement for a sky to rise in motorists rolled up the windows as they approached for a finishing pass, hoping maybe they would all eventually wash away with the rains i see a morning dove landing on my porch railing, it's tiny black lenses zooming into me through the window causing me to think if maybe there is a talon or a couple of small bones embedded tread-wise into my tire a vision now manifests some thirteen foot, six inches away— _all those eyes_... s jones 2009-2021 .
