Strawberries

Behind Naomi's house, that's where you'll find them. Red, plump, and juicy. Don't need to wash them. Just pull them from their green umbrellas, blow the vagabond spiders away, lick the dust fairies, and pop them in your mouth, one after the other.

I wish I had a strawberry forest behind my house, so I wouldn't have to cross the street and walk to the end when I felt like having some. I would get up from the dinner table, and before mother could ask, I would say, "I'm going out for dessert, want to come?"
