Enough of this observing
said the child to her respondent.
Explain the astonishment of the abashed
articulate before the table
of the circle of friends
washed up on the shore of the foreign country
we all hoped to leave
for medicine. An alien
name had already gone and we were left
to drink; health
had no opponents
