City Sighting

Saw a pigeon pecking pizza
On a local urban street.
I assume that it was cold, but still,
A tasty bite to eat.

What a mingling of icons
Of the New York City scene –
Most ubiquitous of flyers
And most common of cuisine.

But what would have made me turn my head
And cause me to look twice
Was if there had been a rat or two
To share in that same slice!
