French Fries, Salt, Paprika and Ketchup

Crazy. I thought of those recurring words. the ones that always come back. will they one day save me? nonsense as a simple interjection. or the last word of an old movie. the way my mom says 'never'. or a strange last name. the brand of a product already out of the market. and that's all that occurs to me now, while playing 'death in june' on spotfy and I eat french fries with paprika, salt and ketchup. hot afternoon in the south of the planet, coca cola is out of gas and I don't care because I think about the ice cream later... I miss when I was a teenager, by this time I would be in my room, in front of the mirror, squeezing pimples, imagining how I would conquer the world.

Enjoyable read Marco. I love French fries, never had them with paprika though. I might give it a try. ~Anna

a lifetime eating them only with salt. Last month I added paprika and everything took on a new meaning. barely comparing, it was like having dated for years but never having a kiss.

as teenagers, the room was a castle, everything was possible, until the first bills started to arrive...
