My 01/06/26 postcard is a roadrunner standing rigid on the edge of a wall on Summer Avenue, its body pitched forward, mouth open in a sharp, silent challenge. The bird has been interrupted. Its feathers lie tight against its body, the long tail stretched straight back, amplifying the sense of aggression and control. It’s a moment of alert dominance, not flight, but readiness.
