The sailor's letter
20th of June 1990We left Dubai and we are headed to France ( Gallia)
Is the word Gallia written with two or one lambda (l) ?
I am not good at spelling,
but i never disaffiliate rough and smooth signs
I saw them in my sleep one night
like barefoot beggars with greasy hair and
i got scared
i saw also an iota subscript, and since then i also remember it as well.
As for circumflexes
when there is a need i also pay my tribute to them.
In our living room we have three flies:
Myrto, Janette and Cornelius,
they eat sugar and milk.
Sometimes i run into them at the corridor
and i pretend not to see them.
Now, i am going to take from the fridge some raw fruits
and i will put them on the scuttle to mature .
I wish i was in Omonoia's square now,
even if there was a lot of heat, a lot of exhaust gases ,
a lot of people in the bus stop waiting for hours for the bus to arrive.
And if i ever got to Ampelokipoi
i would buy fish, green herbs and wheat bread
and i would praise God.
I am wondering: aren't you happy?
I received a letter from my mother
and she keeps repeating the same things
I've read over again and again when a young sailor
approached me
' Captain Manolis, is this a letter from your mother?'
' Yes, from my mother'
' Give it to me to read it'.
