The strangest thoughts pop into one's head while doing yard work.


An Idle Afternoon

"Which do you revile more, the pervert
In his inky cassock, or this spider on
The sheet?" "I have to say, the spider,
Dear." "And, now, when it is crushed
And dead?" "It twitches still, and,
Anyway, I doubt that there's a pervert
Near. What would make you ask me
That?" "A stab at idle conversation."
"Wide of mark. We've talked enough.
Let's slide between these sheets."
