"Yes," he said.
“Let’s go back, " I said.
“Why?" he asked. "He is so busy, he’s got work to do.”
“Let’s go back,” I said.
And so, he turned the motorcycle around so fast that before I
knew it, we were already in your house, the motorcycle going right up to your
front yard, what would your mother say? I did not know what
to do. He stopped and pointed to you, “There, he is,” he said, saying your name. “That is him!”
When I looked up, I saw several you’s at the same time, all seated there under the tree; and the eldest one, wearing a dark blue polo shirt, was looking at me, nodding, confused. Briefly I was able to say, “Just excuse us, we’re just passing by,” and then, we were gone, me, trying hard to hold on to the back of the motorcycle without touching his shoulders, and then, when we passed a hump, bumped upon his shoulders anyway.
We left you wearing a puzzled look on your face, watching me
very closely; watching me and our friend sped away.
