For a long time I didn’t know if I was saying
God or Hello,
Till someone told me it was ‘k’.
I’m still saying Bog to both locals; farmers, elders or tricycle riders,
and to the strangers, never seen twice, in my streets.
*Bok means hello in Croatian, whilst the similarly pronounced ‘Bog’ means God.
