sometimes you feel that way . . .

" sometimes you feel that way . . . "

and it's ok, too . . .
so, today
is like that . . .

- the painter's name wasn't present
on the photograph. . .
but you can figure out
and drop us a line . . .


janot's garage closed . . .

" janot's garage closed . . . "

( les vrais amis ne s'en vont jamais . . . )

real friends never go away for ever. . .

the sun changes
and all the tools
are put away . 

you're
the friend
one can drop in at any time

or even 
not knocking on door
for years 

he'd said: oh it's you. . .
and whatever we talked about
20 years ago
is still up to date.

today

we'll miss you Janot. . .
but then you'll still be around
for a long long time.

in janot's garage. . . past the oil barrels . . .

" in janot's garage "

day 15: sun hits thru roof top
small window. . .
15:15 pm

past the oil cans. . .
and barrels  . . . tin rust. . .
tool box that open
like an accordion . . .

we sat there looking
with lulu his wife. . .
40 years of "stuff" stacked,
bought 3-4 times . . .

you can't find anything in here. . .
so, what he didn't find
he bought again
and again . . .

she's not mad at him. . .
she just wonders. . .
life goes so fast .
