IN　THE　PLAYGROUND

Jack　came　out　onto　the　porch；　tugging　the　tab　of　his　zipper　up　under　his　chin；

blinking　into　the　bright　air。　In　his　left　hand　he　was　holding　a　battery…powered

hedge…clipper。　He　tugged　a　fresh　handkerchief　out　of　his　back　pocket　with　his

right　hand；　wiped　his　lips　with　it；　and　tucked　it　away。　Snow；　they　had　said　on

the　radio。　It　was　hard　to　believe；　even　though　he　could　see　the　clouds　building

up　on　the　far　horizon。

He　started　down　the　path　to　the　topiary；　switching　the　hedge…clipper　over　to

the　other　hand。　It　wouldnt　be　a　long　job；　he　thought；　a　little　touch…up　would

do　it。　The　cold　nights　had　surely　stunted　their　growth。　The　rabbits　ears　looked

walked　past　the　drained　pool　to　the　gravel　path　which　wound　through　the　hedge

sculptures　and　into　the　playground　itself。　He　walked　over　to　the　rabbit　and

pushed　the　button　on　the　handle　of　the　clippers。　It　hummed　into　quiet　life。

〃Hi；　Brer　Rabbit；〃　Jack　said。　〃How　are　you　today？　A　little　off　the　top　and

get　some　of　the　extra　off　your　ears？　Fine。　Say；　did　you　hear　the　one　about　the

traveling　salesman　and　the　old　lady　with　a　pet　poodle？〃

His　voice　sounded　unnatural　and　stupid　in　his　ears；　and　he　stopped。　It
