Tuesday

Today I dropped by the neighborhood community center / to return library books we found we'd forgotten to return years ago. / This center is where I did Tai Chi and Pilates / where my children gave performances / but mostly we refer to it as the Library. / Hava / the librarian / used to phone and let us know about new arrivals / she'd even let us borrow new books before she'd covered them. / Hava is long retired / and today the center serves us mostly as the voting center during elections / and as the gas mask distribution center. /
