Episode 382: Green

Mazolli sees a woman on the courthouse lawn looking down at the grass and walking in tiny steps. Lose something? asks Mazolli. Some money, says the woman without looking up. A few dollars. Not worth my time, really, but I hate to think of someone else getting it. You know, if they haven’t earned it. Oh, says Mazolli. He closes his eyes and turns slowly. When it feels right, he stops, opens his eyes and walks forward. He stops at a patch of clover, bends down and plucks one, then gives it to the woman. You’re welcome, says Mazolli.
