oh

my friend said

it's changed

a lot

He had been here 20 yrs ago

Hmm

Yes

We walked to our accomodation

quaint

usual egyptian plumbing

clean though

We walked along beside the beach

but it was covered in restaurants

we couldn't walk on the beach

******************************

We walked on

stopped for Chai

Sundown

we headed

back

******************************

suddenly am alone

my friend has vamoosed

with the room key

I sit on the sea wall

well it's a restaurant actually

but it is the sea wall

the sun dips behind the desert mountains

it feels cold

I can't remember where our room is

I don't speak arabic

I wait

******************************

He returns

had got sidetracked by a Bedouin

**********************************

We eat at Nirvana

authentic Indian food

ha ha

near the beach

in Sinai

*******************************

It most definately isn't ha ha

when i wake in the night

gasping for breath

two troubles together

a huge sewage issue

lung infection

****************************

Will I be taking you home

in a box

sweetheart?

Did I come all this way to

lose my breath

forever?
