Two songbirds sit in a tree performing a balancing act. Deisel truck noise in
background. Sun almost set. Monday Night Baseball on ... Dodgers were down 8 to 2 but just

larger, a continuous line. People arrive with cups and clammer for a drink ... the first
baseman knows all he has to do is touch the bag, runner is out.
