Dear Steele: Sonjah and Jahlani are waiting for you to pick up the treadmill. You were supposed to call them months ago to setup the meeting so we could plan the concert. Toomer is in town and I wanted to go to Aunty Marcia’s to play kalooki this Friday night. I just discovered this beach in Bull Bay you would like, and I want us to go check it out together.Your camera is taking some really nice shots. I got a picture of a bird diving into the water to catch a fish. The ‘big daddy’ zoom lens is amazing. I took pictures of lizards at Aunt Ruth’s house the other day and I got so close with the lens.
I’ve been visiting Kara a lot. You need to come with me next time so she can get to know her future God-father. I keep calling you and I’m not getting any answer.
The battery on the car is giving problems again. It’s really annoying me now. I have this craving for some curry chicken, you know you make it better than me. Today was 2for1 at Carib: I was thinking we should have gone to the movies. It’s okay though, because my movie isn’t coming out until Wednesday, so you better be here next week so we can go. Mummy was just in town and we didn’t even get to carry her to the Jerk Shop in St. Elizabeth. I had to carry her to the airport and you didn’t wake up to come with me. I’m gonna need a heat pack in the morning for my tummy. Are you really going to have me make it myself?
I went to Kishman’s house on the weekend; spent some time with your St. George’s friends. Don’t worry, they didn’t reveal any damaging secrets, but they all wanted to know why you didn’t come. Kerry was there. She thought of some interesting questions I should have asked you, but you’re not answering my emails. Every night I have to sleep by myself. If you want, I can come to your apartment.
I need you to tell me when is good for you, so I can book my ticket back to Nassau. You said you would come with me in the summer. Do you know when yet? I still have Aria’s copy of Aladdin. I know it’s stupid, but it’s my favourite and I thought it would be nice to watch it together. I had a dream about you last night and I want to tell you about it.
I collected a piece of treasure today on my treasure hunt. It was a mango. I sucked the entire thing dry. Literally. I bit a hole in the top and sucked out the entire mango. You would have been like, ‘nasty’. I didn’t even know you could eat a mango that way, but Aunt Ruth told me that’s how she did it when she was a girl, so I tried it with great success. Trust me: a piece of treasure. You should try, but I not going to give you any if you don’t hurry back.
I looked in the mirror today; you would have been laughing at me, I had to pluck my beard before you noticed. I have to go sign something at the insurance company tomorrow. Are you sure you don’t want to go for me? Do you want me to make you some tea? I’ll make it ‘sweet and nasty’ just the way you like? Or perhaps I can go get some rum and raisin ice cream; whatever you’re in the mood for?
Where are you? I feel like I’m talking to myself. I want to help. Are you sure there’s nothing I can do for you? I finally got my watch fixed. Yes, I still have it. I told you I didn’t lose it, the battery was just dead and I had it put up. I finally started writing on my website. Have you seen it yet? You haven’t told me what you think. You’re gonna make me have to come after you. Seriously, it’s time to wake up.
