The Border Picnics
By Laura Brown-LavoieThere is a tree growing against the fence; its bark is taking on the pattern. The tree gives a little shade on either side, and thats where Ray sets up his chair to wait for her. Perhaps the park existed before there was a border. Perhaps one day this tree was repatriated, the arbitrary nationality of shrubs.
