Tanith dropped by today.
Like, I hadn't seen her in years,
But there she was at my front door
In her colonial helmet.
Custom made Burmese fan
Poised in one hand...
Ready to swipe at any pa**ing disease-ridden mosquito.
She'd been in Belgium, she told me...
Studying the pyramids.
It took her years to find out
That there were no pyramids in Belgium.
I asked her why she left me so suddenly...
Why she'd been silent for so long.
Didn't I exist for her?
Didn't we have something, well, special?
She asked me for tea in a plastic cup
With a well-fitting lid...
Then she left.
