I was eating a sandwich on a bench by the water when a sparrow approached. He flew down and landed three feet away. I don’t know if you’ve ever had a chance to watch a bird up close, but they never stay still. This one was doing its absolute best. Not a thing was moving except its head, which was on triple speed, looking up, down, left, right, behind, under, everywhere—everywhere except at me. Except at me and my pungent sandwich. Homemade olive-herb bread and strong dijon mustard and jellied eggs jellying everywhere.
