She phoned at 8:22 and I wish her
A good morn’
Well – not often – like yesterday
We end up in a domestic quarrel.
However. It’s short lived
As we talk on our cellular phones
And live at a greater distance
She’s in Weidling near Vienna
And I’m at Baden near Vienna
Just at opposite ends with
A two hour traveling time.
‘For you’ she says
‘It’s like a holiday. For me
It’s a fight for survival
Seeking food that suits my
Digestive system’.
Besides – I know that –
Constraints to her budget
Places her into a straightjacket
Of living frugally and content.
I talk to her for a while
Between two therapy sessions.
She’s impatient for telling me
Much more and more
But I have to cut her short.
‘It’s time for me to go’. I say.
‘Well you won’t come late’
She utters.
However.
I’m keeping to my scheduled
Times
To appear at therapy sessions
A few minutes before the set
Time.
Besides. It happened also that
One of the therapists was late
Or did not appear at all.
I also missed one appointment
Due to a mid-morning rest
And my personal therapist for
Health-exercises
Saved me from being late.
Having my bathrobe on she
Overlooked that I was bare
Below
Which showed at certain
Exercises.
But I covered myself as good
As possible
Feeling embarrassed of
Flashing my coat open
As I moved.
When I made a remark
About a penis flasher
She smiled.
I got to like her a lot.
