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.
