With One Foot in the Butterfly Farm Author:L.D. Brodsky, Louis Daniel Brodsky Meet the ordinary people who inhabit Louis Daniel Brodsky's neighborhood. — There's the young man who becomes a tree, and the one who, thanks to magical seeds, becomes who he is. — There's the open-heart-surgery patient whose chest cavity becomes the trash receptacle for the operating team. — There's the office worker whose clothes replace him, and... more » another, known by his colleagues as "Earth's most positive person," who wreaks carnage on the workplace.
There's the poet for whom constipation equals writer's block.
There's the Starbucks regular whose sense of civic duty prompts him to share his coffee with an eyesore of a statue.
