I wore an eye patch when I was a kid, you said. Maybe we met out here and fell in love over bad barbecue.
I doubt it, I said.
I'm just saying, Yunior.
Maybe five thousand years ago we were together.
Five thousand years ago I was in Denmark.
That's true. And half of me was in Africa.
Doing what?
Farming, I guess. That's what everybody does everywhere.
Maybe we were together some other time.
I can't think when, I said.
You tried not to look at me. Maybe five million years ago.
People weren't even people back then.
