Sometime in August last year
after months of no rain
after days and days of 100 degree heat
our homeowner’s association
sent out a lady in a golf cart
to take pictures of our front yards.
Pretty soon we started receiving
letters that informed us
if we didn’t get rid of our “weeds”
in two weeks
they would fine us $200 each.
There was great consternation
up and down the street
but ultimately
faced with no negotiation
we hired masked assassins
who sprayed our weeds away
until there was nothing left
but our salt and pepper rocks
basking in the unrelenting sun
