Did you know my father grew up on a farm? When he got older he went running as fast as he could for a big city. In their time, my parents lived in St. Louis, Pasadena, and Philadelphia. But then they began the steady decline back into rurality (totally not a word, but I’m claiming it). And now? He’s back to living on a farm. Very full circle.
You’d never know he lived on a farm until he runs into a snake. And then suddenly a ten-year-old boy appears in our midst. In the time we’ve been here, he’s managed to find a slew of snakes, and Neko is right behind him cheering him on.
