back at home
you throw apples.
here in your
temporary home,
you throw sticks.
mostly into the
koi pond at the
place where
i spend my
days writing.
you will have
to unlearn
this behavior when
we get back
to los angeles,
’cause i don’t have
anyone to clean
our pond like
they do at
the oberoi.
but you love it
so much,
so maybe,
just maybe
i’ll let you
continue your behavior
and i’ll clean
the pond myself.

The sentiment here is just too sweet for words.
She looks so grown up here …
that’s sweet.
Don’t fish have a natural abhorrence of sticks? (I’m just saying) ={ I hear those groans…!
