A first February Morn’ with
Mixed feelings
Satisfied with my recovery of
A hip joint op
But dissatisfied with my lack
Of energy to travel downtown
And fetch my ailing laptop
From its first repair.
Spoke to Mrs IRA and she had
Suddenly second thoughts
About my hi-tech design –
Too expensive she said
While B started to scold me
Calling her ‘my girlfriend’
But then she might be right
What polite talk and interests
Are concerned
I agreed with her to meet on
Saturday and she sighed with
Relief.
Hurtful words from B
Stabbed at me
So I fled into the Internet
Thanks to smart phones.
This time around I found
My sweetheart
From student days: ‘M’
She even calls herself by her
Nickname as derived from
Michaela
I called Simchi in my poetry
Even if she did not respond
To my Email greetings
An important place in my heart
Remained still for her.
