Jamie

September 8, 1989

His hair all tousled with the glow of noon and by the looks of his smile I think he had a little talk with a robin. The pebbles in his hand are tiny as the faraway stars. He likes to toss them into the water (trinkets for the little fish) He likes to see the pebbles disappear, hear them splash and to feel the ripples.

Spending pebbles is better than spending nickels and you can put the sun in your pocket.
