bird watching

Bird Watching

Two sparrows, on roof of my car, noisily chirped, five
more sparrows came, chirped too and showed no debate
culture, and then they flew off and left the couple to it.
One of them, I think he was the male, flew off and left
her alone, but not for long, he chirped more left again;
did this three times, finally she, I think it was a she, flew
off with him, but looking resigned. A drama had passed,
that I had seen and judged with limited understanding.
Bird dropping on the roof of the car, but think I had
witnessed a family drama, good as any seen on TV, and
as afternoon dramas must, had ended blissfully.
