Thanks for the very nice poem/story.  Interesting viewpoints....and a slice of life played out, thousands of times, yet unnoticed...

Nice!  Unnoticed is the word. Who besides fig nuts notice what kinds of greenery are growing in others yards. While talking to the neighbor from across the street the other day I mentioned my fig trees. He said he didn't know I had any. I walked him over and showed him 16 in ground trees and well over a hundred in pots. He was truly amazed.
