" Girl from the fifth floor, who feeds the birds every day, climbs up to the water tank and jumps off.

I see her body on the road below, and feel absolutely nothing. Maybe because I expect her to get up and walk off. In a story, the birds would have joined forces in a show of gratitude and broken her fall, carried her to a faraway land of safety. As it is, they just gurgle foolishly and confer about the no-show of breakfast.

I imagine myself in Pigeon girl's place - a split open bag of skin on tar. "
