there is something different
                                                there is a cold
                                                the brain can barely hold
                                                in a moment of clarity
                                                the vision shifts
                                                and darkness fells —

                                                sundays are for finishing
                                                whatever there is left
                                                unkind is the latest hour
                                                after ten you won’t shower
                                                otherwise the neighbours
                                                knocking at your door —

                                                and there the latest breath
                                                of the day is set to leave
                                                into darkness the clouds
                                                tell yourself about mindset
                                                drift in space with your lips
                                                taken in those drops of tea —

I’d like to close my eyes and dream myself to the sea
eternity must be a highly boring experience in life
drive a slower car if you wish to gain some freedom
come for me and try to kiss those tea drinking lips
ships certainly won’t sink today —

and here I go
leaving this show
for free I guess
stress won’t buy
you attention —

the clock moves on
midnight comes closer
this train nearby
just an illusion
of my movile phone —

in a moment
may I say
in a heartbeat
take a seat
in my vision.
