Eavesdroppings

We had lunch in the train station, herring, pickles, potato salad, vodka. Everything Russian. I told him today is such a poem and that my friend says that everything is a poem.––What did he say?––He said, well, he laughed.

Strange, but what a great take on the prompt!

Everything is a poem, and I'm so glad that is real and true. And in such a few words you create a huge puzzle. Does he understand? Agree? Or is he being polite? Social? Maybe something more negative? I like where you took the prompt. Good stuff.

I agree with the sentiment, LIFE is poetry, and what you make of it!
