What I said

What I said

I do not know

if I meant it, like that.

Along my walk, yesterday,

I saw them, both of them.

The grandfather together

with his granddaughter

were drinking and eating,

something.

I noticed, somehow, possibly

they could not afford a vacation.

Silently, close, they sat

next to each other,

not in my skin, as lately,

the wind has another air, here;

out of there.

They also, noticed my walk,

the younger girl looked at, me.

So did he.

I said “hello”.
