Yumi

For Sunshine

I hear about this special flight that stops at San Francisco. I book a seat immediately. When I get there I ask how to get to LA.

"Is LA far from here?"

"Yes. No. Somewhat. It all depends" No one will give me a straight answer.

I'm starting to feel really, really desperate, what being stuck in a foreign city with no change of clothes (would it snow?), and no visa (scary!).

But I do manage to teleport to LA and it's Imo I see first, then Nacho who gives me a hug and says, "Ninang Camiw!" and then I see you all smiles and Asha a little nervous and a little thing bundled up in a stroller whom I presume is Yumi. I peer at her and try to decide who she looks like but my eyes are finding it difficult to focus.

If I could do just one near perfect thing I’d be happy
They’d write it on my grave, or when they scattered my ashes
On second thoughts I’d rather hang about
and be there with my best friend if she wants me
