It's important he says, so we have a date
Unexpected and I still have so many things to do.
I rush to the store for cigars, potatoes and rum
All things he keeps talking about and of course
pencils and paper because the 2 dollar bill has long been covered with apples, pears and there is even an ear and mouth scribbled in a corner.
Everything is ready for the visit on the table and I wait patiently for the arrival of the one who likes to eat potatoes so much.
What will it be this time?
Boiled, fried, French fries or mashed?
I should have bought a sweet potato I suddenly think, it can be eaten raw and it doesn't cost me electricity and a pan to wash up. Stupid, stupid, stupid! A raw potato with rum... that certainly doesn't taste bad and I just store the cigars in the box until the next visitor comes. I fill my glass, from Ikea made in Bulgaria, with ginger tea, it has the same color I think to myself as I take a sip and start drawing to kill time.
