i passed 13 pigeons on my way to the café. am i corny to hope someone happened to spread more breadcrumbs than usual? crossing under the bridge my wet shoes left psalms upon the staircase opposite the pub we drank in two days ago. we talked about carol & vivian maier and i felt the wind. wind like atom fin -gers wrenched the door open and ran themselves across the table up my arms and down my shirt right through the neck-hole. wind like knees to a chest, maybe.
