Most nights before going to bed
I would write in my diary.

1:13:18
Today when I reread the pages
from those days

1:13:23
I see just how much I'd come to accept
1:13:27
my father's crisis
as an intractable fact of daily life.

1:13:31
Maybe thats why theres nothing in it
1:13:34
that warned of what would happen afterward.
1:13:38
Although my father did something then
1:13:42
he had never done before.
1:13:44
He came to find me one day
when my classes got out

1:13:48
and took me to lunch
at the Grand Hotel.

1:13:52
That fall day a wedding
was being celebrated

1:13:55
In one of the hotel salons.
1:13:58
(Here's to the band!)
1:14:09
(Here's to the wedding!)
1:14:17
(Here's to the bride and groom!)
1:14:21
I saw you this morning.
1:14:23
Where?
1:14:25
You were walking in front
of the Oriental with a boy.

1:14:28
Oh, yeah... Miguel.
1:14:30
They call him "El Carioco".
1:14:32
He's a little crazy.
1:14:35
Is he dangerous?
1:14:37
No, he just draws on walls.
1:14:42
Ah! Yes. I think I've seen one of his drawings.
1:14:46
He's so annoying!
1:14:50
Is it true what he wrote?
1:14:52
I don't know.
1:14:54
He says so.
1:14:55
But I think he does it for the attention.
1:14:57
But its nice, isn't it?
1:14:59
Wanting attention?
