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 it right?

Who know? 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!!
