what runs thru‘ your mind
when riding on a noisy bus
shaking along an uneven road
which is badly neglected
at the outskirts of the city?
foremost thoughts
influenced by themes
originating from the news or
the moaning monologues of
one’s spouse
perhaps from complaints from
an elderly man
who was once a good friend
but then all people he’d talked to
have become good friends
the poet calls it: the need of
participation in the life of others
the urge of curiosity and the
extraction of info that leaves
the stranger turning to a friend
completely naked in his personality
compri?
the poet analyzed the situation
for years
knowing his friend
he’s still there for him and he asks:
who will be caring for me
when I’m of my friend’s age?
concerned thoughts at an advancing
old age.
