Ulysses in the city..
By: Hikmet Elhadj
(to: Helena Flohr)

Me and my colleague John
Went for black coffee
At the espresso house
Standing in the square
in the center of the coastal city
He left me to lie
while we were sitting
And I drowned in "semla" foam
and "blueberry tart" smile
We talked about school poison
And laughed at the triviality of life
As Africa and Asia
meet on the baldness of Europe
I won...
