scent

so i head to the whole foods market to replenish, restock and to cease and desist from living off the good will of others who have been feeding me for the last 10 days, okay two weeks. standing on line- a familiar stimulation to the olfactory nerve --the guy in front of moi has the distinct scent of an old boyfriend. i inhale deeply, remembering. clearly, visually it is not him. but if i close my eyes...a flood of memories both good and great wash over me. why did i break up with him? twice in fact. more memories. what was that feeling? oh yeah, bittersweet...
