I have lived in this city 25 years and all that time I have dropped things. I’ve dropped tissues, letters from women in Santa Fe, N.M., money, the keys to my house, books by Jacques Prévert. And all this time, you, the people of this city, have pointed to me and said, “Hey!” “Sir!” “You!” “You dropped something!” and then I’ve picked it up. You have watched over me all these years, and I’ve waited till now to thank you.
