Non-Refundable Ticket

Since I did not fly to Tulsa

I went to the Morningside market

where I touched the okra and sunflowers

where I bought two late summer Japanese eggplants

a large bunch of lemon basil, good for chicken or fish,

and caught the season's first tiger swallowtail on my

rear view mirror. ~~ Rev. Marti Keller
