At a grocery store, you stand in a line among the others, the strangers you don't know... or care to know, calmly because you've been through it all and there is no fear. And you think to yourself: it's good to be strong, to move, at last, with such final indifference... through lives that are but various ends. And then, someone, a woman, slowly turns,... sees you and warmly smiles with recognition and affection, remembering what's been forgotten,... if, in fact, it never was: the street on which you played, and dreamed together... in a town you had thought was completely lost. |

It would appear that sometimes, in some fashion, you CAN go home again. Very well done! |
