She said if
she died first
I should get
a tall Nordic girl
with long legs
like an acrobat,
just like the
bridesmaid
at the first of our
several weddings.
We didn't learn
from experience;
what is it called,
recidivism?
We both tried
to learn Swedish
from the girl,
and I must admit,
I didn't learn it,
kept going back
for irrefreshible
lessons, starting
from scratch
each time; like
an addict.
