PIGEONS
There are pigeon blockers along the beams and overhangs of most outside train stops in Chicago. The pigeon blockers are strips of steel, with sharp upturned segments like saw-teeth. Sometimes I’m just standing there waiting for them to come to life and fly at me, snapping open and closed. Me running at first, then being like “No, why am I running” and allowing the jaws to close on me. Except the teeth don’t bite, they bend around me.And it’s just me standing on the subway platform with all this metal bent around me, and I say “fuck” before going back to wait for the train.
