I was working in a factory
which made camping stuff;
I was busy in different departments,
when a young student started
(a little bit younger than I was )
on the Monday.
After a week or so
he stopped me and said:
I understand you like
classical music?
Yes, I do, I said, why?
Have you heard any
of Mahler's symphonies?
He said.
No, I haven't heard
his stuff,
I replied.
You want to get
his 7th symphony,
he said,
it's very good.
I'll try and get it,
I said.
A few days later
he slit his wrists
with one of the knives
they used for cutting twine;
medics came
and took him off.
He never returned.
I bought Mahler's 1st symphony;
I gave the 7th a miss
just in case it had
an infectious kiss.
