All the worlds a stage
and minded of my previous life I watched it pass by as Teenagers
trundled down the Epar Road as I breakfasted on local fruit, yoghurt
and honey. The procession of kids made their way to who knows where
or why but some were in a hurry, some sauntered, some rode their
bikes precariously weaving in and out as traffic past. The teachers
seemingly trying to keep order by staying on the outside were well
spaced out. A few kids hurried to catch up, running past the group as
if they wouldn't be missed but had probably nipped behind the boat
near the Hermes for a fag. The boys joshing and wacking each other as
they bantered with each other. I honed in on the girls, the ones
dressed in brighter colours than the rest, flicking their newly
coifuured hair, the look at me girls, those that twiddle their
earings to accentuate their femininity hoping to be noticed. Several
slower boys wandered down apart from the others, maybe less fit, less
popular, shy who knows?I nearly wished I was back teaching but thought better of it.I bet those Greek Boys and Girls weren't telling the teachers to Fuck Off.
I'm going to have to
get fit myself as that hill up to Kefalos appears to be no obstacle
and the highway to everywhere.
