Sartre

Joe and Minna discussing Sartre under

a purple and baby blue sky:

It’s gonna rain but the drops will

run off the brim of my hat and fall

to the ground nurturing  the grass

and flowers.

Not if you walk on the sidewalk.

I will take off my shoes and socks

and walk barefoot through the grass.

And catch a cold? Don’t be stupid.

It’s 90 degrees.

You might step on broken glass.

Maybe. Maybe not.
