Literature should mean something ...

LITERATURE SHOULD MEAN SOMETHING IN
YOUR LIFE

a man

walking down the street

looks up to see

                         birds

wheeling in the air         looks

up to see a billboard plastered

with black letters.

                                    BIRDS LIKE ME

says the billboard, and

a pigeon lights on it.

(Birds like me is the theme for April for submissions to Waterways:  Poetry in the Mainstream.   This year the themes are all taken from poems by Cornelius Eady.)
