I am not that skinny anymore, but that’s fine. Christmas happened inside, without a Christmas tree. Silently.

Coconut juice and ice. America is not afraid of ice.

Green neon lights in a Vietnamese restaurant. Everything smells and tastes like fish in here.

More green neon lights. Paper and plastic. Infinite, almost.

Goodwill store. Record store. Records and video cassettes and all the people in between. Dresses, shoes and furniture. The place were my soul came to rest.
