to be as prolific as zucchini
as radiant as sunflower
as stubborn as dandelion
turning the doorknob
* * *
chance upon friends
some parading with drums
some waiting to dance
some displaying their hybrid autos
some discussing seed varieties
how many from back home
how many at this crossroads
still, we retreat
before the blue sky fades from this year’s harvest
