Where is my Mind

A postcard to Nina

“Nina I can be your boy friend
So you can stay with your girl Friend
Your father is a sweet old man
but it’s hard for him to understand
that you want to love a woman

nina I can be your boy friend
if it puts an end to all this nonsense
first time I see you in berlin
and you don’t tell me anything
‘till outside your dad’s apartment

oh God! Jesus Christ!
I try to focus on your eyes
but having dinner with your family now
keep a steady look at your left eyebrow
if it’s raised it means “yes”
if it’s not it means “take a guess”
Hey you! stop kicking my legs
I’m doing my best: can you pass the plates?
