looking up


saturday
 while i was out and about
 i looked up 
voila
 a water tank!

 it and that banner have been there forever
 captured by me many times
 but 
downstairs
la caridad
 a cuban chinese restaurant 
has
 never 
been
 discussed
 here
 its menu features
  awesome
 yellow rice
 red beans
 as well as
 perfectly steamed broccoli
 fried plantains
 cash only
 fast delivery
 or 
eat in

 there used to be another wonderful cuban chinese place
 called may something
 i forget
 but 
i do remember
 they served
 the most delicious soup
 chinese soup
 they called it
 noodles
 thick slices of pork
 and
 an egg
 toonman loved that soup
we went there
 on one of the few
 real dates
 we had
 before 
we began living in sin

 we did get married
 in fact 
our 35 wedding anniversary
 is 
approaching

 this 
a reminder
