As I went about opening the shop this morning I couldn't shake the faint sense of longing. I kept the music off, and the windows closed, and enjoyed the silent gray morning while wiping tables, until it came to me : a single frame in a moving film. It was the lingering sadness that comes from dreaming of someone lost. The day began, the espresso machine hummed, and the music played. But I wasn't there. I was somewhere deep inside my mind. The same way they are.
(p.s.) look at
