one lazy tropical afternoon
in June,
a green coconut fell
from a 15-foot tree
in my backyard
a tree I'd planted a few years back
not in a climbing mood,
I grabbed a 10-ft pole
and stabbed the bunch of swollen nuts
stab...
stab...
stab...
then my neighbor yelled:
'pablo, pick one for me..'
and I turned my head
towards her voice,
then back
up
the green coconut fell
from the 15-foot tree
in my backyard
and landed on my face...

And I have the scars on my upper lip to prove it....
