Helping an aged friend
Watching him move more
Closely
His peculiar habits
Manifested thru’ life.
We all have adapted to
Circumstances
Cared for a friend and
His caretakers:
O – for driving errands
N – for intensive care
And organizing her daughter
Vee
Who saved MrT for many
Times
Having to call for instant
Medical help.
So the poet recalls his
Immediate emergency
Action
Calling an ambulance
When his friend was
Stranded during an
Health attack
At Vienna’s central station
And this time it was also
Touch and go
As sudden attacks of one’s
Own health
Are most serious matters.
Reflecting on his own life
The poet muses about his
Near-death experiences
On the long winding road
He was in good luck
Of getting away
Unscathed.
Watching his friend closely.
