My refrigerator is an abstract landscape. Then again, is landscape ever a truly abstract experience. This is certain, pandemic writing has a different gesture-palette, palate, and pallet, for sure.
Lawns became important in their suburban world, and so her younger brother took to tending them and burning the leaves of their neighbors. In his beat up truck he was somebody to be counted on, someone who counted. The tinkering with machines was just the beginning of his long road to manhood--the smell of grease and cigarettes as he joined his older brothers in the woods for mischief. Too bad one day the mower cut his finger off, but he married well much later, and showed us all his surprise.
