———

The Modern, my favorite spot in Manhattan, my favorite table placed facing the gardened patio. Bushes, flowers and sculptures. Mi hands transport bits of pasta and greens towards a floating throat that opens and closes mechanically. On reaching the pallet the textures transform into the lines, circles and brushstrokes that flood my mind since morning. The fifth floor at The MoMa, a universe of master pieces that heals my days and dreams.
