Near my apartment, there is a big street with an endless row of ginkgo trees, which are symbols of Tokyo. This one near the subway station somehow attracts tons of sparrows from 4:00 to 6:00pm. I sometimes stand beneath the tree, listening to them chirping and chirping. In a matter of a minute, I am mesmerized. And their droppings bring me back to senses.
