Feeding the Pigeons on Fremont Street
Falling out of the Golden Gate Casino
with nothing to my name
on Fremont’s pedestrian mall
beneath its great vault of lasers and neon
with nothing to my name
on Fremont’s pedestrian mall
beneath its great vault of lasers and neon
I see them again
the girls from the Russian doll stall
and Dress Your Critter
and the Buddha Ping Scent Centre –
the girls from the Russian doll stall
and Dress Your Critter
and the Buddha Ping Scent Centre –
all three of them feeding cookie crumbs
to the pigeons that come
and coo
to the pigeons that come
and coo
and gather there
as though to manicure
their perfume-scented fingers.
