Language Lesson
I spend most of my time alone or with
my wife; she sits in the kitchen watching soap.
And I didn´t know how lonely I was
before I ended up in a hospital
and shared the ward with six, like me, elderly
men who had lived unhealthy
and now had to pay the piper.
Modest, I said nothing, but they sort of dragged
me into their conversation
It was great fun
I spoke Portuguese without worrying about grammar
and we laughed a lot.
I´m home now sit writing these few words,
the TV is on low and my wife sits in the kitchen
and I miss the old men.
