The pigeons do not scare at my arrival, for they know i am one with them: overlooked, ignored by those blinding themselves from the collapse, and hated by those engineering its acceleration. Knowing i am as they are, not a mere fancier, the pigeons make no atttempt to stop me as I take a fair share of bread from the dinner table, slipping it into the inner pocket of the jacket i am wearing, before contemplating the shapes and shades contained within this silent multilane roundabout.
