country house retreat

the women kissed
upstairs or downstairs
played ping pong

the women swatted
flies and ate oranges
by the pool and drank

sometimes one would laugh
while playing Fußball
about her parents or a client

who walked
into her bank manager
office complaining

about the moral decline
of the country in which
they lived in which

those damned homosexuals
lived in which she
gave him a loan

smiled
and waited once again
for the weekend
