Friend On the Flight

(Dedicated to Dana Rugina) On that very cool and refulgent evening Flying from Europe to Africa Luck placed me beside you How beautiful it was to look at your pretty face How wonderful to know you are from Romania How pleasant it was to have a seat beside you How glad I was to know you are a mathematician Though accented, paid kin attention to listen to me I had a smooth and sweet flight Not because it was an Egypt Airline nor that I sat in business class But because you keep my company “Is your final destination Egypt?” ignited our conversation “A man that keeps quite will die” will I always remember Because they are words of wisdom I believe I’ll see you again Friend on the flight Where and when, that I cannot say.
