Russell Edson - One Lonely Afternoon

Russell Edson - One Lonely Afternoon

Since the fern can't go to the sink for a drink of br water, I graciously submit myself to the task, bringing two br glasses from the sink. br And so we sit, the fern and I, sipping water together. br br br Of course I'm more complex than a fern, full of deep br thoughts as I am. But I lay this aside for the easy company br of an afternoon friendship. br br I don't mind sipping water with a fern, even though, br had I my druthers, I'd be speeding through the sky for br Stockholm, sipping a bloody mary with a wedge of lime. br br And so we sit one lonely afternoon sipping water br together. The fern looking out of its fronds, and I, looking br out of mine . . .
