Day 94 - Flashbacks

When I eat carrot soup at night with my mom in a cold kitchen, I am eating an entrée in a small restaurant in Covent Garden.

When I pour water from the clay water tank into a glass, I am pouring water into a cup in a London flat that overlooks Victoria Park.

When I lie in bed watching Twin Peaks on my laptop, I’m on the narrowboat’s bed, with the side hatch open onto the Regent’s Canal.

When I turn off the lights and stare at the ceiling, I am listening to revellers heading home from a nearby pub.

Whenever I play 10CC's Deceptive Bends I can strongly smell the parquet floor polish of our flat in Hong Kong in 1978.
