26 every man in the village I went swimming in the piscine with tante Z first "DONT TELL DUCK" *sigh* yes Tante K is whatever the Muslim version of hungover is so I'm on the shore alone Secured a chair A guy sat at the palm frond umbrella next to me I think he likes my summer playlist They enjoyed it at the pool too Egyptian seniors feeling Jack Johnson Who would've thought? I got cat called three times today 70 year old man honked from his car and smiled at me with his middle aged son-- I don't understand how people hit on people WITH their parents Also what exactly do you think the honking will achieve? A muscly guy on a bicycle barked. Barked? AARF. That's a new one And then a group of guys, twenties and thirties emerged from the direction of Islam's villa and I looked Should not have looked They elbowed each other and laughed and we had to walk together to the beach One sighed loudly and shook his head and said "Ana taabaan" (I'm tired/sick -- like, I'm a sick boy) And then I had to say my building number at the beach gate And another one said "did you get that?" Haaar haaar haaar And Islam is nowhere to be seen Oh well I'll swim a bit |
