At the beach

Last night I went to the beach. All I remember are fragments.

Samantha from Sex & the City lying next to me. She was my friend. Telling me to pull up my top, don’t I want to get tanned?

My ex-lover on another beach on the Costa Brava. I realize we’re on a beach way up north. I want to go where he is.

Couples nearby. At one point I see various couples behind some trees making out, kissing. Two boys see them. They run away, come back with their mobile phones. They take pictures to show to the police, ‘cause making out in public is forbidden.

My mom. On the beach. Telling me about her new job in Spain. Every week she will be travelling to Spain, so we’ll be seeing a lot of each other. I ask her about the flight, but no, she’s going to catch a ride from a friend of hers who lives in Utrecht. They will leave on Monday to go to Spain and then go back on Friday night. And I think to myself: maybe someday I’ll catch a ride with them to spend a weekend in Holland.
