Let the pigeons speak. Ask the closest pigeon for his number, for her middle name, if they are ready to die, if the sky gets crowded enough to consider war, if their stores are closed on Sundays. I want to be ready for them to be just like us, but more ready for them to be completely different.
― Keith S. Wilson, Affrilacian poet and game designer (excerpt fromI Find Myself Defending Pigeons)
