in the park
I saw you in the park
on a cold winter’s day
Enjoying the sun
under some trees
You were watching people
Your face shines again
A blaze reaching the sky
Has burned the clouds
You were watching people
Lying upon the grass
Colourful blankets aplenty
And apple pies
Talking about art
But you’ve been walking naked for years
on the rough road
Your legs have fallen but how,
How can you stop while I tell you
To love him?
Over there on a bench
Two old men are talking
Feeding the ducks
Talking about Mars
But he lost his red light
ages ago
A warm wave has passed
Your coffee fell
on the bed
left him dead
In front of a shop window
I watched you stand
A blonde lady was going byv
But your mind was elsewhere
Her pink reflection
Her red lips
Her dark shades…
Behind them, sparks
light flames
Her scent was intoxicating
But you didn’t even see her
Policemen were whistling
and drivers were dumbstruck
I found you sleeping
in a little square
A lame dwarf stumbled
and kicked up a fuss
But you kept smiling, bent over
You kept saying ‘tell me man,
How can I see you?’
You took off your hood
And I wanted to disappear off the face
of the earth, How, How?
The police will come,
The modern state
Her pink reflection
on her Raybans
They will start asking
‘Who are you’, ‘what do you want?’
‘Tell us what you know’
‘Too bad you’re not talking’
‘It makes you look suspicious …’
but you stop them
and ask, ‘What’s up mate?’
leave me alone
today
