A week ago, I was sitting at a small sticky table      
       
I was writing about a trip I took last year with David.
outside a cafe, in San Jose.
       
It was my day off, and I was writing in the blue notebook.
 It was a gray, overcast day,
      
not quite warm enough to be sitting outside.
     
The coffee was good.  There was a jelly doughnut
     
on a paper plate in front of me.
