Small Talk

by James Morehead

"closer to the fence"

"no
      i saw it
 it went right there
                              right by that rock"

"no
 it bounced against that board
                                                see?"

"i remember
                    it hit a flower"

"you are impossible
                                let me show you"

"wait
         it was here all along
 a nice man found it
 he gave it to me"

"ask him if he saw the other one"

"wait
 he has it in his pocket
 and he didn't tell us
 so now he's pretending"

"he's probably dead"

"no
      he's just somewhere else"
