Soothing Arabic music
seeps through the bedroom walls.
Children outside chatter away in Turkish
and a couple across the street
argues in Polish.
My Hungarian neighbour
treated me to her lovely smile yesterday
and my late Chinese neighbour
poured some excellent tea.
We didn't understand eachother
but knew what was said.
And not said.
Making us both feel unsad.
If even for a little while.
A Kenyan, a Malinese and an Algerian friend
helped me with a better understanding of French
and I have a nice friendship
with a neighbour
who is from Indonesia.
So yes,
I love life in the big city
