a heart.it was, i believe, almost 3 years ago, we had a get-together for valentine's day. 8 or 10 friends, all single. just got together for a dinner; we probably didn't want to be alone that night.
somebody thought of having a white elephant gift exchange. everybody was expected to bring something that cost less than $5.
and this is what i got from the exchange; a plastic handmade heart.
i had it on my bathroom wall for 3 years. i left it there when i left my apartment.
i loved this heart, but i wanted this to belong to marfa, not to me. i don't know why.
that was (for me) a good-enough reason for me to have left it.
maybe the cleaning lady threw it away. maybe it's still there.
