the only word she could say was goodbye
it confused a lot of people

when she wanted to buy more milk
she had to go to the shop & gesture to the guy behind the counter
and say
goodbye
goodbye
it was difficult at first

but she actually got quite good at communicating
she found that different emphases on goodbye
sent different kinds of messages
she talked with her body her eyes
she got along ok after a while
just always saying goodbye

but on that last day
when she finally had to go
she looked out the window
hidden by busy men & newspapers

she looked out as hard as she could
and said goodbye
goodbye

everyone in the air thought she was a little crazy
but she kept on saying goodbye
nowhere between somewhere and somewhere
she could only say goodbye
and nobody understood.
