To in New Jersew (was My experience with caffeine - Scotch

[Guest guest]

in New Jersey:

In every and each assessment they make of you, let them not forget

your assets. Can I mention a few in case they have been overlooked?

ness, spontaneity, resilience (taking it easy), alertness (quick

reactions), empathy, cosiness, curiosity, helpfulness, etc, etc.

PS. Ok, I am off-topic. May I go on just a little more, ? Maybe

it would be better to go off-line, in the interest of the others. I

sense I'm exposing myself too much. Or you? Anyway, back to poetry. I

wrote the following lines some time ago. It may not apply to you

entirely, but somehow I associate the main idea of that poem to you.

I hope you won't be too angry with me if I dedicate it to you anew,

for just in case. Excuse me for the poor translation into English.

The word " train " in the Portuguese language in Brazil can be

associated with " life " , with " one's life " .

<< May be things have changed

Or maybe I have succeeded

In not looking old enough

For on buses

Very few children, if any

Will rise to show me their seat.

But when I was a boy

My mother would make a point

Of reminding me to stand

And give up my place to the aged.

She would never bother to ask me

If I were tired

Or if standing in the corridor

Made me feel vulnerable

In the case of a collision.

I would obey her

With that silly pride of a scout

That, however, never made me look different

In the eyes of those ungrateful seniors.

I never knew how to tell her

How powerful I felt

By sitting at the window during the ride

And gazing at the world outside

As it were at my feet.

That is maybe why

Along these years

I have allowed so many people to take liberties

In my affairs.

That is maybe why

It has taken me so many years to realize

That I was all the time

Entitled to the place of my choice

On this train.>>
