i was ready to be surprised

New language, new culture

I wasn't ready for you.

You rolled a joint and made some tea

Took me to your bed and

Taught me stuff I didn't know.

We said goodbye at breakfast

Went our separate ways but,

Come the evening, there you were again.

"It's better if you do it like this" you said

"My god, so it is" I replied

So glad you stayed my toy boy man.

"Going to Darjeeling tomorrow

My visa soon runs out."

But here you are again, another night.

Drinking jars of Tumba, eating biscuits,

Watching boxset DVDs.

More joints, more tea, more you, more me.

You left on day fifteen.

No tears, just warmth and gratitude

And ready to be surprised.
