I was walking with a small luggage on wheels and a backpack in 35C heat.
Naturally, I was sweating,
Struggling a bit,
Trudging along.
I saw a bird fly to my left with something in its mouth,
Into the parking lot,
The bush,
The open grass.
Same piece of whatever in its mouth.
On it went,
Out of sight,
never in mind.
How many others have you out of mind like that bird, and vice versa?
