Denmark?





















I'm in the lift in my apartment block heading for the 14th floor
when a kid jumps in the lift with me.



"Denmark?"

He points at me
I don't understand so he repeats

"You, Denmark"

"No, No, Irelande, Irelande"


He looks away.
But i feel it is worth repeating,
pointing at my chest i say

"Me, Irelande"

He smiles in recognition,
puts his hand across his chest and says proudly

"Me Palestine"

And I could write a book
The one they'll say that shook
The world.

Missed you at Coldplay.

I have a picture like that of the kids next door to where I was working in a village in Africa. Only I am also in the picture (bad idea) and they are black whereas I am very very very white.

You have a great imagination, by the way.

Don't worry Becky, Luke was always creative when learning language. You should read his Irish essays!
Great to talk to you Luke-Delighted when you said, "I have a pan on the cooker!"

Aww, Luke that's such a sweet story...like the bit in King Kong when the girl is explaining the word beautiful and the ape learns and point to her...aww, why'd they have to kill him?? He was just learning to love...

Sorry, I'm getting carried away...
Stay safe, stay Irish!

glad you made it safely... I hope that they will keep believing that you are from Ireland... Here in Banja Luka the Danish govt has paid for a bodyguard for our Danish neighbours - obviously unaware that this is a Serbian Orthodox town - not Muslim!!
