sitting the sunny porch book in hand the eyelids droop siesta snore looking up at all the green growing things below the black-eyed susan like sun spots by the purple hibiscus ahead to the left three trees i've seen them for years didn't under stand maple trees but you'd not guess climbing ivy has coiled the trunks like leafy boa constrictors buddha said two things make the world full of unsatisfactoriness (dukka) i cling, i push - i felt like taking the ladder and big scissor shears and snipping the ivy from the host maples the poor things can't take their gorgeous out to play but the job nipping off those green ropes a bone-headed errand as with all people 4.4 10/10 © Brian Peter Hodgkinson
