========================================== return to TOC for issue: Fall '08
The wind felt good in the sedan
tan perforated seats
the sun not too strong
and sitting in the chairs eating ice cream I said I am trying to relax
my foot shaking in new sandals
you in the brown plaid shirt
I remember you in your kitchen in Echo Park,
seeing the way the fabric hung off your back
faded yellow and blue in the pattern,
thinking I love you.
