laid out
on the grass together—
we’re they lovers?
Killing time—what a strange expression, but there I was killing time waiting for my appointment, like I had all the time in the world to amble along, just walking leisurely while looking around at the row of old stone houses with their tiny gardens brimming with flowers, lining the sidewalk. It was pleasant. Then I saw two sunflowers in the middle of a lawn, stems carefully cut, laid down on the grass together side by side in a tender embrace. I paused a long while and wondered….who did this? what does it mean? I looked at my watch. It was time to go. Everything comes to an end.
