My Pictures

And so
I drank my coffee
ate the carrot cake
Ms. Gu gave me.

Coffee
Cake
Ms. Gu

To a sound
of
‘The Carpenters’
attempting to mend love.

I listened
and
stared….
The young man called me ‘uncle’
“Have you ever been old” I asked.
But I think it was lost in translation.

But now ‘The Carpenters’,
a taste of wet gold
and fingers in the ashes.

And all around
dreams of that perfect love,
horses with gentleman.
And homemade carrot cake.
