In Memory of Dominic

In Memory of Dominic, originally uploaded by ujima.

The memorial that is growing across the road is helping to erase the
picture that has stayed in my mind of my 22 year-old neighbor,
Dominic D'Alicandro, lying hurt in the road, waiting for the ambulance.

We went to get our flu shots today and then went to the supermarket
to get food to eat as we lie and wait to get ill. But the side effects that
one used to get from these shots no longer exist; but we wait for them
anyway and call back and forth on the phone to see if anyone is sick yet.
I love my family's routines 8>D
