our table, she's gone!!


i couldn't didn't wouldn't believe it..
my eyes kept searching until i finally spotted her..

i can't believe those idiots move her there!
don't they understand that she's not a mere accessory?
that she welcomed us and shared our joys and sorrows, our moments of despair and our morning coffees? our deepest darkest secrets and hours of useless existence?!

and oh if this table could talk..

gus, our smoking "stairs" miss you, look at them they're so lonely.."where has everyone gone?"

useless existence is more like it! the table where we waited for godot everyday. now that i think back we were so funny.. we'll actually leave our houses very early in the morning to go to the table, j. is there at 6 in the morning, G. is early too, H. is running down the stairs, you leave the dorms, i'm fighting to park, and johnny...so we run to the table and sit... plan all day what we'll do in the afternoon.
thanks layoul. i was very happy to see her!

familiar items keep the memories alive...I remember refusing to dump a cane chair used by my late granny when she passed away...i kept it for the next 5 yrs! afraid to lose the connection...
