19/366: Robert
A have-not from inner-city Detroit, he’s doing yard work now, getting what he can. Robert’s from the ’hood, where there are no trees. He says, “Trees are a hundred feet high, a hundred feet deep, and have ten thousand children.” He might be a player, but he always leaves me smiling.

What a beautiful line.
Robert's made me smile too.
He's a charmer. ;-)
