In late spring he looked for the daffodils on his morning run. Not just any daffodils: the ones in a corner of the vacant lot a couple of miles from his place. Someone must have planted them there in better days, before their home was razed to make way for progress in the shape of a filling station. The flowers prevailed, even if their gardener hadn't. They were an uncommon variety, with petals the white of far off glaciers and tiny cups edged in red. When he had a place of his own, he thought, he'd naturalize daffodils just like those, dig their holes in the late cold fall just before the ground hardened, or maybe the wife he hadn't yet acquired would direct their placement, that would be all right, too. More than all right. He ran on. He was nearing his halfway mark, far beyond the abandoned daffodils, but the flowers lingered in his mind like a half-remembered song.
