The forgetting

12/17/2022 28 years on

All day I felt a bit like this

(HERE)

When we went shopping the stale cigarette smoke coming off the woman’s coat at the checkout — smelled very good — for the first time in a long time

I even craved beer

I even took pictures of palm trees

Not until I sat down to do gate(less)

Did I remember

Un Dia

Much, much love Baba mi.
