Cake stand

 Dream or Journey

Title:  Cake Stand in a public office
Summary: I am working with V in a house in Caballito that has been converted into a public office. It has a garden behind it backing on to the train tracks.  People come here to do governmental paperwork and consult the public servants working there.  Often they come in family groups.  While they are waiting many have a coffee and a slice of cake and come to our stand.  I am in charge of this place which is too small and improvised to be a cafeteria. It’s like a trestle table.  There is a variety of cakes on it and I cut up slices for customers. V. comments on how neglected the garden is. Despite the number of people in this house and the reasons people are there, there is quite a calm atmosphere.
Feelings afterwards? Intrigued.  What am I doing there?
Connections, associations, then and now I’m not a cake maker or seller.  This is the sort of occasional job I did as a teenager to help out.  I don’t know this house or one like it.  V and the topic of gardens has been of recent debate between us but is a minor point here.   Could any of this play out? It could but I can’t see how and when.
What would I like to know? What is this public service connected to in my waking life?  Why cakes of all things?  Why with V? Does he represent himself?
