Reports from the front
(close to the window
where the plants live):
the young anole lives

(and may be terrifying to southerners)
I haven't seen any insects--
its food source
still a mystery

Early daffodil varieties blooming all over the yard yesterday; temp. >70F. Saw an anole running up the wall of the house. Stupid lizard! Winter's not over quite yet.

sun shines on the south window
the tropical plants long for home
and to escape their pots
the refugee lizard
longs for summer

trapped in a crippled body
that is always cold
