Cotillo to Corralejo does not exist)
A young Moroccan family, well I guess that’s where their
origins lay, were similarly waiting. S’pose I only noticed them
as their youngster was making rather a lot of noise. The man of
the family appeared little more than a teenager yet, as he
played with his toddler, he carried himself with a grace that I
could learn from.
Then there is the Indian shop near the bus stop where a young
girl in her full traditional dress always has a smile for me
when I buy my bono de guagua from her. Does she ever look at
the colour of my skin?
I need to be a better person. Need to.
Fishing out my mobile, I thumbed the favourites button, NEED
was at the top of the list, the number rang three times before
a robotic voice spoke…
