Josephine



We play Monopoly
under the Apple tree.

Mid-20th Century,
on the cusp of revolution,
on the verge of denying
Revolutionaries their own.

Josephine,
runs into the cellar,
to the back yard,
to the Fig tree.

She harvests four figs,
one for each Monopolist.

As we pass “GO”
and “Collect”,
sweet memories.

TP.
