“Radial” by D. J. Bryant, 2011
~ 25 ~
For house nineteen, my Homeowner Association requires St. Augustine sod to be laid over our sandy and barren yard. Home eighteen, where I lived the longest, has so much grass, I wish I could roll it up, stick it in the van, take and plant it in my new front yard. I’d sprinkle it twice a day, for awhile, with Florida’s reclaimed water. Let the subtropical sun wave its nurturing wand, cast a radiant golden spell on each blade of grass, and conjure its growth to accepted HOA height.

But just as important as that— I have to get the seats back in the van.
