The Architecture of Emotions


Whilst I played in various outfield positions

I was considered a goalkeeper

And played there for a number of years

The strange thing was that when outfield

I received a variety of red and yellow cards

But as a goalkeeper I was neither booked or sent off

Although I ran this close on a few occasions

When I was not playing I worked as tour guide

In a museum of Norwegian furniture in Oslo

This was a voluntary position which I enjoyed greatly

It was here that I met Lynda who created mosaics

Made from coloured glass and found objects

She had touched a market and earned an income

Lynda had a small piano painted white which she played

As she considered that she had some musical talent

I may have been a decent goalkeeper but did not have

An ear for music or a decent singing voice
