Like death, our
flirts were always

serious hanky-

panky.  I miss
those who’ve
left the city

with someone.
A telephone.
Around ’81 or so.

We were
supposed
to meet Martin,

but he didn’t
drink at Dave’s
with Rodney, Ron

and Konrad.  After
that, we went to
El Salvador

where the currency
remains the US
dollar.  We lived

for decades in
Suchitoto, a
city known

for its cobble-
stone roads.
No one ever

leaves Suchi-
toto.  The sun; 

its secular sun.
