He discovers crow tracks on it

Hello,

Could anyone paraphrase the sentence in red?

Why is the world likened with "crow farm"? What does "crow track" refer to?

Many thanks.

The homosexual is always masochistic, and usually low in self-sufficiency, sometimes incredibly so. "I'm miserable when I have to be alone," one wrote, "and I spend most of my evenings looking for someone to be with; even someone I don't particularly like is better than being alone."


But as the homosexual practices his exercises in "emotional propulsion," he begins to feel better. He stops feeling hyperthyroid about life. He accepts the fact that the world is a gigantic crow farm, and is no longer alarmed when he discovers crow tracks on it.
