Sparrow

Speed. Like a blur of feathers across the asphalt. Skimming, just inches higher than the busy road. Formation. Not keeping any by choice default. Sparrow. A bird born brave, a bird born to be bold. With sun in my eyes, sparrow flies past my front wheels. I swerve to the left as this wild one goes right. The sound of my tires braking makes a loud squeal, But rash, brave sparrow keeps flying, showing no fright.

I'm glad you like it Sparrows will attack. The bite on the thin skin betweem the finger really hurts. Yet the crumbs from people ensures their survival.
