Poem
Was it, Trieste? An odd place half dour Russian and half lively Italian I sat in café drinking beer and waiting for a tall American woman she smoked cigarettes, which back then was a novelty for a lady to smoke outdoors. I had never met her but was sure she was a spy. I was told she was at the railway station when I got there the train had gone, but there was a picture of a lady smoking A cigarette called “Monte Carlo”. Walking around I saw a small lady carrying a heavy suitcase I offered to help her thinking she lived nearby. We walked and walked the road was muddy and the bloody luggage heavy, we walked out of town Trieste was behind us when the little lady stopped outside a house said she lived there and invited me in. By now I was sweaty, tired and fed up, said no thank you and walked back to Trieste. Later someone said she was a famous actress like I should care The suitcase was so ing heavy, and perhaps she was a spy. Back in Trieste, I sat drinking beer when a prostitute came and sat down she was telling hilarious jokes about the men she had met in her life it was funny but not flattering for the men. We had something to eat and switched from beer to wine when a man came and talked to her and she had to leave for business. She asked me to wait for her which I didn´t do the thought of her having had sex disturbed my sensibility, I drank the rest of the wine and found my way back to the hotel
