coconut- man gambling his way walks tightropes subjugates gravity, among the fronds grabbing water seeds

Very cool entry Trina. You have a unique voice for sure. I tried one of these too. The form seduced me

Same here ... it looked interesting to try. Thanks, Tom. Every write is a new experiment. We have a fair number of coconut vendors on the island. It's not easy work, but we so enjoy the fruits of their labour. They do have a story, and here we are.
