Agapito

I was in a monotonous place, maybe a zoo, and I saw Emily, and it felt great because she brought playfulness into an otherwise dreary dream. I started to play tag with her, trying to get a picture. When I got close enough for a shot, she turned around, and I saw that she had turned into Azita, smiling, not an ordinary smile, a smile like the sun, with rays made not of light but rather of delight. We had been friends for almost 25 years now, and I was thinking, 'do the struggles of life dim delight and dry up joy?' No, the dream seemed to emphatically say with a smile as bright as solar rays.
