presents
a problem, how to open
it,
what tool
should we use,
i ask
as i hold the hairy
brown ball
in the air, up
towards the light.
she suggests the hammer,
i point
to the power saw.
maybe
a mallet
with a long screwdriver,
or the hatchet
hanging
on the shed door.
do we really a coconut,
i ask her.
can't we take it back,
did you
keep the receipt?
it seems so violent
and destructive
to open
it up.
