Dreaming of Life Away from the City

I was stuck in traffic earlier today on my way home. The on-ramp to I-5 was at a stand still and I was tired and just wanted to get home. Waiting for traffic to move, I stuck my head out of the window and watched pigeons hanging out on a wire above the on-ramp. Cars started moving a bit. I moved about 10 feet. Not much but it was progress. The movement had me positioned directly beneath the pigeons and their wire.

I continued staring and wished that I could be free like the rats with wings perched above me. Free to start our journey. Then I realized that I was unwise to stick my head out of the car window and stare directly at the underside of 8 birds.
