Flash From The Past

The other day
We were walking from the bus station home
When we passed by a big open comedor.
John went in to get a bottle of water
And I noticed these old photographs on the wall.
San Miguel from other eras.
Canal street
The Jardin before the trees were trimmed,
The parroquia San Antonio
Which you will hardly recognize.
