Australian writer of Montenegrin descent en route to a polyglot European port at the head of the Adriatic mid-2011 shipwrecks instead on the SE Asian Equator. 12, 36, 48…80, 90++ months passage out awaited. Scribble all the while. By some process stranger than fiction, a role as an interpreter of Islam develops; Buddhism & even Hinduism. (Long story.)

Nano
Allure
In her wonderful scarves, wraps and swarthiness Marie reminded of a widowed aunt preparing for re-marriage; for Abdul her muttering to herself excited. A shared eroticism that surprised us both.
Reptile
The elaborate quiff was one thing, but what about the skin treatment after all the golfing, the pools & beaches over the years? No wonder “executive time” mornings alligator smoothing.
The News
These fatheads in their jackets, shirts & ties at boardroom tables. Still appearing with the ones by the window, in the interviewee chair and carrying briefcases coming out of buildings
Azan
Blasted out of sleep before 5AM with heavy shelling, an old man’s voice with the energy that could only be heard in the West on Fox, in sports & drunkenness.
Latte
With these preoccupations now virtually impossible to conduct conversation with any of the patrons—an inescapable conclusion, at least within such walls with this piped music, soft furnishings and fittings.
