I went back to the Dominican Republic with friends to visit an old friend but everything was different yet the same. He was married and unable to spend time with us although we stayed at the family home. They ordered a huge tray of beautiful scoops of ice cream, like black Cherry with springs of mint on top and vanilla with whip cream. But it was really a distraction to keep us from noticing that they had moved on and really didn’t have time for us. Just before bed, I realized I had a huge accumulation of spit in my mouth so I went outside and spit. I had this realization that I was old now.
