Open-Ended Question

A herd of cantaloupe 

like blond duckpin bowling balls 

thunders down the slope 

trampling California poppies 

once upright along vivid silt. 

The spheres smash open 

splashing salmon-colored water 

and thick fruit across the hillside. 

Sweet phytonutrients meant to boost 

immunity splay into nature's road rage 

minus the road and colliding with 

an open-ended question.
