"Blind willows have a lot of pollen, and tiny flies covered with the stuff crawl inside her ear and put the woman to sleep." She took a napkin and drew a picture of the blind willow. The blind willow turned out to be a tree the size of an azalea. The tree was in bloom, the flowers surrounded by dark green leaves like a bunch of lizard tails gathered in a bunch. The blind willow did not resemble a willow at all.
