Stream of Consciousness #37

I woke up this morning with a name stuck in my head.

"Bernard Malamud."

How do I know that name?

Oh, yes... He wrote "The Natural."

The movie stars Robert Redford.

I confuse him with Paul Newman sometimes.
Newman's makes salsa and salad dressing.
Some of the profits go to charity.

The last time I donated to charity
was last month.
It was a clothes donation.

7 bags of clothes.

7 is supposed to be a lucky number.

They left a note on the door that read "Thank you."
The note fluttered in the breeze
as the wind picked up.

As I pulled the tape from the screen door,
I began to wonder where all the hummingbirds go
when there's a thunderstorm.

It's raining right now,
but all I want to do is sit on the grass
and eat clementines.

What do you want?
