That velvet movie seat. That English car leaking in the driveway. That downstairs fire-trap restaurant down a too-narrow street where everyone is smoking. That early-morning romp through old-growth redwood, coffee sparkling in your veins and hair in a baseball cap. That detention: beating erasers and putting soccer balls away. That beauty salon next to the fabric store. That dead seagull at the beach. That Caltrans truck trimming weeds along the shoulder. That garage at your grandparent’s house, that washroom at the restaurant with the chalkboard, that 4th floor hotel corridor, that bikini laying on the wooden bow.
