A poem in The Orange Room Review

IN THE CROWD 

by Vasile Baghiu

A Japanese man

took photos of

the crowd sur le Quai du Mont Blanc,
in Geneva.
 
It caught me too
when I was admiring the huge
artesian well.
 
I thought then for a second
I would remain
in an album,
somewhere in a house
in Tokyo,
or elsewhere,
and nobody would ever know
who I was.
