A couple summers ago

Poetry evenings.

A glass of Merlot.

This dress and the picture taken

2 hours before

getting stuck in a

3m2 Parisian Elevator with a full bladder.

Definitely not an experience I recommend.

My neighbor's kids asked me if I needed snacks while I was in there.

I think I just closed my eyes, and the hour blurred by.

And so did the year, a few summers ago.
