I met the Australian man with the Russian wife again.
Neither looked to pleased to see me
almost straight away he asked me what I did.
I have been waiting a long time for someone to ask I said
and I was tempted to say I am retarded
and when they ask again
I would say retired.
His wife said he was off to oz for good in October,
he said it was because of his mum.
He asked me about my family
I told him my mother was dead but I couldn’t tell him how long ago.
He asked me what age she was when she died
and I had to look around the room until I could make up some excuses
Then in the end, I said, in fact you are right I was a terrible son.
He invited me to Australia after that
must have felt a bit sorry for me.
The thought stayed with me all night, as others spent the night trying to kill me.
