2/20

i came across this tree yesterday,
hanging with all sorts of toys,
i started taking pictures
and an older man
most likely homeless
carrying a garbage bag of bottles that he was collecting
also stopped to admire it

the artist's picture was on the trunk
and the guy thought this was perhaps some sort of a memorial to him
and that he was dead
which worried him
because they were in the same program and
he had just seen him

i said that it didn't seem to be a memorial notice
(it was in spanish)
because there were no dates on it

my pictures from yesterday weren't so good,
i think the light was too harsh,
so i went back today
