A Small Argument

a little argument in Portugal

at the pharmacy
a man tried to get in front of me
I would have none of it
We had words.
But something he said 
Stuck in my mind;
We don´t like you (foreigners) 
We only tolerate you.
The people at the pharmacy
Fell silent.
I had the sense they agreed with him.
