Breda
October 23, 1991

to Breda, my friend -
I met you at the start of school
did not know you
stranger lost in a strange land
or so it seemed to me
I cannot say you tried to fit in
but regardless the environ has slid about you
mingled if you will, in making friends
better than most it seems
and you grow more sure of yourself I think
day by day -

you wanted me to write you a poem
I could not think of what to say
but it seems as if this at least is true -
you do so well

what was it like to come here?
I would ask you this -
you meet strange people
give a test for your strength
no matter the strength be new

you asked me once if you had an accent
well, I have to say you do -
but all have some deviation from the whole
and transmission is ever stronger than voice alone
a happy sound, your accent
thus what you say cannot hurt you
as the saying has been kind

in you I found
to my surprise
a friend
someone I could talk to
for this I thank you

there are you said, few who will listen
not many willing to tell the truth
but the sounds define not the truth you know,
and telling was never easier
