I brought some of my friend with me today.
We stopped for a bite to eat and sat at a table near a window
with “GRAND OPENING” emblazoned across it.
He’s here with me in this vial I placed in front of me.
It’s less than I’d like, but enough for now.
We share a few laughs as I think of him.
Or, more seriously, some insights about life in the ashes.
I pay my tab, and on my way out, I put him back in my pocket.
