10 years old
summer time
working for dad
citrus nursery
me and my brother suckering
every morning there at 8
breaking off
little stems that screwed up
and grew where they weren’t suppose to
poor suckers
noon time comes
break time
load up and hit the
country store
glass bottle coke
and peanuts
my savior
does anyone do that anymore
peanuts and coke
driving around
waiting to hear
‘The Rest of The Story”
something about this guy
something about his delivery
something about the way
he found good things
great things
in a world were all news is bad news
he found glimmers of
humanity
goodness in everyday folk
stories that touched
one suckering/peanut coke/girls
heart
