She didn’t remember me when we met again.
It was at a tiny club in San Cristobal de Las Casas. Her boyfriend, Lucas, had offered to buy me a Bohemia, and in exchange I was enduring a well-rehearsed diatribe on the evils of NAFTA. That’s when she sat down. Her name, it turned out, was Marietta, with a soft “a” – Mar, like the sea in Spanish. She was taller than I remembered, muscular, and her eyes were a pale, stony gray. Her dirty blonde dreadlocks were tied back loosely, and she had an unconventional, audacious kind of beauty.
There was small talk. In the background a local band belted out reggae covers of Pink Floyd and Nirvana. She told me she was a filmmaker, and I feigned familiarity with her PBS documentary. I asked her where she was from.
“Pretty much everywhere,” she replied. “How about you?”
