Drums Got to Him
See the movie, The Visitor. Story of an illegal alien. How his happy life unravels. And an unlikely friendship forged. Features solid actor Richard Jenkins.
College professor.
Widowed four years ago.
Burned out, pretty much.
Two different posts
Two different lecture halls.
Two different apartments.
Comes to discover
That squatters are housed in one.
Both brown skinned.
Victims of shady realtor’s work.
But Professor cannot just boot them out.
Friendships develop
Fresh air of sorts for the lonely Elder.
The young woman is
Hopelessly in love.
And the young man
Gets Prof. pounding
On a djembe with
Rhythmic Buddies in the Park
In the Subway
At Home, happily.
Before trouble comes
From Homeland Security.
