Veils

I had to go to the drugstore about a month ago to get some sunscreen. While waiting in line, I heard a crash from outside the store. A man came in, borrowed a broom and a bag, and went back outside. He had dropped a jar of spaghetti sauce on the sidewalk in front of the store. He cleaned up the glass, but left the sauce. For the past month, that sauce has slowly turned into a nondescript stain on the concrete. I am one of maybe five people in the world who knows the origin of that particular stain. I may be the only person in the entire world who thinks that is of interest at all.
