From Petersburg
I had cramp in my legs, got off my bike sat on a stone
Beside the road massaging them, when a bus full of
Russian football supporters, stopped.
A man got out gave me
a scarf and the team´s banner
a scarf and the team´s banner
I put the scarf on – made by his mother- those in bus
applauded. They continued their way to Lisbon where
their team was playing Sporting in a friendly, I didn’t
have the heart to tell them the road they followed led
to Madrid in Spain, coming from Russia with love they
would soon learn Western Europe was not to be trusted.
