MLMM Monday Wordle #485 presents the following words for us to work with:
town, anxiety, box, half, wrong, sound, today, full, bench, running, message, again
Unruffled
Pigeons—
Ever hopeful,
Eyes on the box
On the bench
Beside him.
His half-eaten lunch.
Today,
As on most days,
He sits on the bench
And the pigeons wait,
Shuffling impatiently.
A little anxious,
Scattering as runners
Jog past nearby,
Reassembling again,
watching, waiting.
Beyond the bench
The sound of the town—
Horns,
Beeps,
Clatter—
Muted by the trees
But a message full of urgency.
Not his message.
Oblivious
To the thrum around him,
He breaks bread
With the pigeons.
