Tracks

A while ago
the FBI called in
a celebrated Indian tracker
to analyze the marks left in the desert
by two people suspected of taking delivery
of a large quantity of illegal drugs.

When giving evidence it transpired
that one of the ways the tracker determined
the difference in age between the two men was
that while they were waiting for the drugs to arrive,
the younger man trod on the desert flowers
while the older man walked around them.
