I remember (Pastiche of a text by George Perec) 
 I remember. 
 
 I remember the smell of cut grass. 
 I remember the taste of raspberry tarts cousin Lulu. 
 I remember long walks in the forests of pines and the wind singing in the branches. 
 I remember the horrible pictures of Uncle Albert, he had to accept with a happy smile! 
 I remember the fantasy and joy of the mother's brother, who disappeared one day without leaving a forwarding address, and never recovered. 
 I remember the lullabies I sang my mother. 
 I remember the beauty of a sunset over the Bosphorus. 
 I also remember my frustrated hopes and my ambitions thwarted. 
 alas I remember all the missed opportunities ... 
 I remember the first day I finally said no!
