Cooing

Cooing

I’m nothing but an albino
Pigeon:
Head cocked and cocking,
Scavenging for crumbs.

Proud as a peacock am
I:
Though I forage beneath
Your feet and coo.

Sometimes I’ll gobble like a
Turkey:
To confuse the passers-by,
But don’t really fool them.

All the other pigeons hate me—
Jealous:
‘Cause they know I’m better
And sometimes pass for a dove.
