190009 Millie squats in the crotch of the curly willow. I poke her with a stick. she grabs the stick and pokes me. the early evening late summer sunlight makes her limbs golden and the tree limbs too. a man walks over with a chuckle, from the next plex over, says Can you catch? and tosses me a tomato. It's the best one I've got, he says. I say thank you very much, is it a Roma? He says Something like that. It's red. (2014)
