Before that, he used to sit with pigeons
noamchomsky666:
over near Cabrini Green
noamchomsky666:
That is where he used to own a
noamchomsky666:
newspaper stand
noamchomsky666:
He worked there for 50 years
noamchomsky666:
and now he is retired
noamchomsky666:
His foot has gotten better, so he
noamchomsky666:
doesn't wear a cast anymore.
noamchomsky666:
No cartilage, he said, No cartilage
noamchomsky666:
He asked me if I thought the pigeons
noamchomsky666:
were afraid of him at all, if they
noamchomsky666:
were worried he would do the wrong
noamchomsky666:
thing to them.I told him it was obvious.
noamchomsky666:
Then I started telling him how
noamchomsky666:
Id started to notice pigeons killed
noamchomsky666:
all over the city and how it made me
noamchomsky666:
think of him, and it made me sad to
noamchomsky666:
think that no one else cared for
noamchomsky666:
the pigeons right to live the way that
noamchomsky666:
he did. He told me that they just kept
noamchomsky666:
moving and scurrying, trying to keep
noamchomsky666:
alive just like people, do
noamchomsky666:
they get the same respect? he asked.
noamchomsky666:
I said I didn't know.
noamchomsky666:
So that was Joes story for today.
noamchomsky666:
He also yelled at me for not
noamchomsky666:
bringing him the pictures from before.
noamchomsky666:
Get off your ass this time, he said.
