in Paddington Gardens as I eat my

vegetable sushi I

am surrounded by fat pigeons

do they need a gastric by-pass as I had in

August 2012?  their red feet

& gigantic bellies

beg

the question: no self control?

stress?

lack of pigeon love, or self

love?

or a mother’s love?

get the by-pass …

pain helps (‘Hurt Hawks’ great Robinson poem)the strong to

live with

pain
