| Adrienne, I heard You Were Trapped by John Findura |
Adrienne, I heard you were trapped under very heavy
objects, so why don’t we sit quietly and you can tell
me all about it while I feign interest and watch the
people walking in and out of the restaurant across
the street? I will show my concern by mumbling and
smiling wanly before I ask if we’re going Dutch on
the bill, which will be mostly mine because you only
ordered an herb tea while I had cheesecake and two
cappuccinos. But then I woke up and remembered that
I haven’t seen you, Adrienne, in almost a decade. I’m
going to find where you live and repeatedly send you
letters describing this dream in minute detail. I left out
the part where you tried to embrace me but I pushed
you gently away, only to regret it for the rest of the
storm beating heavily outside the school.
