edible arraignment

this one’s for all the freaks of nyc
who love to love birds
pigeons actually
to the old man on woodward and linden
who upended a full plastic carton of cheese puffs
onto freshly salted cement
as flapping wings descended upon him
and to whoever dumped
that mountain of churros on st nicholas and grove
and especially to the vendor selling hot dogs
on the western edge of union square
who tears up buns
and scatters them around his cart
to attract customers
of the avian kind
