Cast Photo
Here we are at the Globe
Yeah
She had a walk-on part in Mid summer’s Night Dream
I helped with the set
got paid and what a resume booster
This is the Cast Photo
That’s her right there
Pale
Raven hair
Obscene gesture
That’s her
The Street Cafe in London
One of the best runs of clement weather in 25 years
And we were lucky enough to score a walk-in table
Parmesan skin appetizers
Puffed up little pork scratchings from a rind
Espresso poured over vanilla ice cream
affogato style
She said
“In Germany
you can drink your beer on the streets
and in the subway if you don’t spill it.”
Café Babalú
Took this picture in Reykjavik
The airport isn’t actually in town
Keflavik International Airport is about 50 kilometers to the east
If you do a lay-over
and spend some tourist-time in Iceland
you get free flight continuity
The waitress dared me to eat snails
but we ordered sandwiches
She said
“The first boy I ever kissed
smelled of wanting
desperate wanting
and hurt. . .”
She pulled a stalk of parsley out of her sandwich
sniffed it
flicked it on our tray
Sipped her soda
(an Eglis Applesin)
Made a face
checked her phone
Said
“You guys are all alike
Just the same. . . .”
And she said nothing else
