Open Your Sad Heart

Last night I went back to the Romanian Picnic. Lily was with me. The music was playing and they were cleaning up. I said hello to the folks I know and told them I had the best time and loved the food. "I should join the church and bake bread," I said, joking. "I think there are rules, you have to be a virgin." Nick said. What's with every religion's rules I thought. "I'd like you to meet my godmother Helen, Nick said. We started talking. "I grew up on this street, it was a great neighborhood, we were all family."
"I'm trying to bring that back," I said. "Good for you," she said. We stood there and talked for a few hours.
