she can still remember
where she was standing
hearing this song
on the radio
almost 4o years ago now
in a foreign country
alone
friendless
her mind
like the weather
awash with pale grey
the vendor at the market
saying
" things can't be that bad"
they were
then
after a while
they weren't
and now
they are again
except
the weather is better
both sides now


I liked that song a lot, I'd forgotten the two sides of love bears looking into. It was on my car radio quite often.
