Like ships in the proverbial 
night two wheelchairs pass

in the lobby—Lu Kao
(who escaped 

over the border into
the Himalayas raised
five brothers then went back
home again to marry 
raise three boys
of his own)

wants a smoke so his half-
Irish grandson pushes him outdoors past 

Miss Rosa whose daughter
is here for her 

lunch
