so we grow another pillow to fight
        one against one
us versus them
                pillows are soft
so what can happen anyway
                        what else than laughter?

so we grow another pillow to hide
        five against one
them versus me
                my pillow is always too small
still soft
                        and I’m small, too
but they always get me
                                from my shelter
and what will happen then
                                        what else than laughter?
