Moving the Coleus

From Poetry Daily:

Husbandry


“Honey? I think maybe we should move this coleus. . . . Honey?”

“What.”

“I said I think we might want to move this coleus.”

“Okay.”

“Because I know it said partial sun or partial shade or whatever but I’m just not sure
it likes it behind that rock.”

“I said ‘okay.’ ”
