A hitch-hiker in my car,
Near Lauberla'ch, (Brittany)
used Face but very intelligent look,
He tells me about his life in five minutes,
The life in submarines, his retirement at 34 years,
Then about a dozen casual jobs,
The coastal fishing, the strawberries, the tomatoes,
The life to Lambézellec a few years,
And finishing  with a big smile,
I changed astrological sign, he tells me,
I was Capricorn, I am Cancer,
We keep silent with a mutual condolence.

Yes I could imagine that dramatic astrology change would stop conversation or leave you floundering what to say.

Good piece.

One could only hope to live long enough for the heavens to make the switch on their own.

Like Cari, I agree to the good writing yann.

More feelings and fewer words please
