watered red wine........................The man in the line behind me
making lazy circles in the sky.............smiled as I turned away from the window empty handed. sliced lemon..................."Not my type" flashed thru my mind the stones that formed the streets.........as I casually scanned his rain................................thin tan face, blond-streaked hair, aquiline nose cold water......................but I lingered while he collected a substantial quantity of mail. blood stains.................... brown grass on the hills... a flowered dress..............We exited American Express together a glass of beer.................as if we had known each other all our lives. sleep...............................In Via Guicciardini, he extended his hand and I took it. background noise............"My name is Marlin." low flying planes............. intermittent pain............... the smell of green grass.... warm sun......................... the red tiled roofs................ wooden cutting board........................ don't bother me now............................ a pad of paper.................... a white shirt....................... making love...................... the children laughing.......... blue jeans......................... steaming plates of pasta...................... never know why............... nausea.............................. footprints.......................... unwashed windows........... a dark corner.................... hot desert sand...... walking............................. riding................................ the horizon........................
