Garden Master
I had returned to the rose greenhouse where I once worked. The boss told me to collect cuttings from the miniature yellow for new starts. Something new! I set off for those beds of roses. They used to be just outside the packing shed door, around the corner from the coffee break table.
On my way, I passed through a cosmetic shop. The sales women seemed to know who I was and what I was up to. Outside, I met the boss again. He directed me to a truck that I could use in my commute to the greenhouse where the miniature yellows grew. It was a nice neighborhood that I drove through, lots of trees. I picked up a man and his small daughter. They looked like they needed a ride.
There amongst the homes I found that greenhouse. I told the people who were there what I was up to. They just nodded and I quickly cut a handful of roses.
"Do these have aphids?" I asked, mostly to myself. A young woman took the roses from me and threw them on a table, spreading them out with her hands. A professional horticulturalist, I thought to myself. I said, "No, they may just be wet from the misting system."
I woke in my own bed, realizing that you can never go home.
