00:00:01.210 --> 00:00:01.710 align:middle line:90%
"Pigeons."

00:00:01.710 --> 00:00:05.220 align:middle line:90%


00:00:05.220 --> 00:00:08.820 align:middle line:84%
Wherever I go to find
peace or an island

00:00:08.820 --> 00:00:12.870 align:middle line:84%
under palms in the
afternoon, at midnight

00:00:12.870 --> 00:00:16.950 align:middle line:84%
to pity my neighborhood,
at dawn in the shrubs

00:00:16.950 --> 00:00:20.910 align:middle line:84%
to look for a
child, I hear them.

00:00:20.910 --> 00:00:24.240 align:middle line:84%
They fly by
applauding themselves.

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:25.410 align:middle line:90%
I see them.

00:00:25.410 --> 00:00:27.660 align:middle line:90%
They pray as they walk.

00:00:27.660 --> 00:00:30.690 align:middle line:84%
Their eyes are
halos around a pit.

00:00:30.690 --> 00:00:33.660 align:middle line:90%
They look amazed.

00:00:33.660 --> 00:00:35.850 align:middle line:84%
Who are these that
come as a cloud

00:00:35.850 --> 00:00:42.420 align:middle line:84%
to our windows, who rush up like
smoke before the town burns.

00:00:42.420 --> 00:00:47.010 align:middle line:84%
You will find one on a
mountain, in a carpenter shop,

00:00:47.010 --> 00:00:53.040 align:middle line:84%
at home, on the lawn of an
old estate, at the library,

00:00:53.040 --> 00:00:56.310 align:middle line:90%
in the forehead of paradise.

00:00:56.310 --> 00:00:59.340 align:middle line:90%
Whoever is mad can accuse them.

00:00:59.340 --> 00:01:03.000 align:middle line:90%
Thousands were killed in a day.

00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.120 align:middle line:84%
What happens to
them, happens to me.

00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:08.520 align:middle line:90%
When I can't sleep, they moan.

00:01:08.520 --> 00:01:13.190 align:middle line:84%
And I'm there, and
it's still like that.

00:01:13.190 --> 00:01:15.000 align:middle line:90%
