An American in London

At last she's here!!
Dreams of showing her
My country,
My culture.
I'm nervous waiting.
What will she think,
Will she like it?
It's all so different
Although we speak the same language
(well, reputed to be):-
Driving on the wrong side of the road
Or is it right?
Who knows, I don't
I guess she won't soon.
Is it gas?
Is it petrol?
Pavement?
Sidewalk?
I could go on and on.
Do we speak anything the same?
Yes!
Christ on the Cross.
And of course:-
Our love!

2nd September 1995 - North Acton, London, England.
