You Decide
Appeared in the Summer 2004 issue.
Five rows of green
tomatoes. Crayons spread
across a table. Page after
page of shorthand. Two
meadowlark in plain view.
A vending machine
of peanuts for pennies.
Ripe strawberries in a
yellow dish. Headlights
beyond the driveway.
Fresh sheets on a
mattress. An ice cream
truck melting through
summer. Life that grabs
us already screaming.
