Mr. Reagan

i went to see mr reagan at 9am to 10 30
- says a dude on a second floor of a London bus
nr 24 towards Hampstead
- i made him breakfast
and went to the shops – he continues -
then i came home and had breakfast
then i went to the other guy for 90 mins then back to mr reagan
MR REAGAN WAS HAPPY TO SEE ME
i made him lunch and went to the shops for him
then i came home for 2 hours
then back to mr reagan at 5 pm

and i made him a bacon sandwich

mr reagan has got a lung disease
he cant breath
if he tries
to move
too much
he cant walk
anywhere
he is interesting guy because he has not got dementia
the other guy has got dementia
he doesnt remember things
we cant have a conversation
he is sweet though

mr reagan has thoughts
many thoughts!
He thinks about corruption in the world
and the mechanisms of power
crushing the ordinary people
it's good to talk to old ppl
they know stuff
mr reagan is quite old-ish
he is 67 – or summat.
Old enough to be interesting.

the one who was a train driver was quite literary situation
- he said he was always killing people in his train because people jumped in front of it very regularly including women with children
train? who was a train driver? - ask i
mr keys
he was 89
he was 89
bone cancer
he is dead now? - i ask
diabetes
kidney failure
no – he answers - he did not die.
i think he is dead though its just he went to hospital and i never saw him after
he might still be alive! - i say!
Naah, he didnt want to go to hospital the doctor told him he might die if he didnt
i doubt it
me: uh, some ppl suffer so long before they die!
him: yes

Mr Reagan is waiting for a wheelchair to arrive so he can go out

But mr. Reagan, he is a nice guy
No he hasnt been ill like that for that long
i think he feels bad
to have lost his ability
to look after himself
but he has a decent attitude. he is a thoughtful person
me: oh yes, corruption and stuff

today a guy was peeing in the bus – i remembered.
Well, at least he wasnt shitting into his own hand and throwing it around – he says.
yes, thats a positive side of it indeed. - i admit
