Tanith dropped by today. Like, I hadn't seen her
in years, but there she was at my front door
in her colonial helmet. Custom made Burmise fan poised in one hand ready to swipe at any
passing disease ridden mosquito. She been
in Belgium, she told me. Studying the
pyramids. It took her years to find out that
there weren't any pyramids in Belgium. I
asked her why she left me so suddenly. Why she'd
been silent for so long. Didn't I exist for
her? Didn't we have something, well, special? She asked me for tea in a plastic cup with a
well fitting lid...then she left.
