he continued appearing. i rose to concentrate more on him and look forward to the margin of illumination his appearance delivered me in my solitary world, my yellow solidago.

is this how he made everyone feel?

"hey, sir. a dozen roses?"

"yeah."

i chose to request another question because the man didn't appear too bothered by me. "how do they react? when you give them a rose?"

the man beamed, showing his bright lily whites, differentiating from the mysterious orchids encircling him. "they're usually smiling. sometimes they're confused. but mostly smiling."

i giggled at that. "i don't blame them for being confused. i would be, too."

i gave him the roses. "no filler and box?"

"nope."

"well, that's twenty dollars."

he handed the familiar dollar to me and waved, not even waiting for me to say my last mantra. "have a nice day."
