A bird came down a walk and ate a worm in halves before drinking from some grass. It then hopped to let a beetle pass, glanced around rapidly with eyes like frightened beads, and stirred its velvet head cautiously. When offered a crumb, it unfurled its feathers and rowed itself softly home, similar to how oars divide the ocean too silver for a seam or butterflies leap from banks at noon while swimming without a splash.
