the discussion on dying and
disappearing languages
anglicisms changing?
Don't we all do lists of literature
reality shows from all over
soaps films songs?
Verbal expressions can be translated
you know
Verbal variety can be interesting
you do know
Why should only one conjugation
variation word or phrase be right
wrong
Never in the world
that that's possible
there would be no form to live
dress eat exercise *** enjoy art
Language rules
Where would Zadie be without Shakespeare
Hockney without swimming pools
Mercury without Montserrat
I don't know

She dresses
heedfully walks
into town the pubs
hesitantly looks
the groups, couples
but hopefully seeks
that one single
male, female doesn't matter
with a book or just staring
listening taking live in
that she doesn't feel alone
whilst ordering seating herself
that she joins from a distance
Like she always does in town

a week comes, goes
at two precisely
the door strikes
no text message or call
just arrives and knocks
she smiles at the daffs
music to see him
she gives him a kiss
surprises herself

Hair up
Dive in
Professional fitting
room conduct

shells in my left pocket
train ticket in my right
it takes a lot of
travelling to feel part of
the world again

the only thing I want
is to swim in the sea
she said ardently
rain shine
cool or cold
with a wetsuit though
she says apologetically
her skin so soft
wet hair in a woollen band
and her husband looks
at her proudly bringing her coat
We get restless - it's the village
you know, but we travel
and I need one trip on my own
she adds but looks at him
heartily he says
I like to be just at home

One day less
Better late than never
Deadly ill all stressed out
but work distracts
keeps on track
apparently
Work work work
When in Buenos Aires and Madrid
the real questions were:
are you married?
how many kids?
Here it is:
what's your job about?
Taking distance
Taking care of cats dogs now
With my two titles my mum
adds bitterly funny
Friends don't follow no work
keeps you out of loops
apparently.
