ANDREI CODRESCU
Weird 2 (real
cool)
We are in London
At the Portobello Gold hotel
Drinking gin and tonic
At outdoor cafe
The girl behind me says
To the guy she’s with
‘How young is young?
Nineteen?’
‘Sixteen’
‘That’s young’
and then she says
‘weird karaoke
unbelievable cheese’
and that’s not weird
just pleasant very pleasant
seventy-three and
sunny
